Alana Striped Cardigan, Soft Rose

The Alana Striped Cardigan from Black Colour in Soft Rose is a properly cosy autumn-into-winter throw-on — a brushed knit cardigan in soft stripes of pink, beige and warm brown tones, worn open over anything from a T-shirt to a shirt to a dress. Feminine, quietly warm, deeply wearable.

The fabrication is where this cardigan earns its £90: 30% mohair, 40% acrylic, 30% polyamide. The mohair is the hero — it's the natural fibre that gives the knit its beautifully soft brushed haloed texture, that gentle fuzzy fluff catching the light. Mohair comes from Angora goats and has a proper luxurious hand-feel, warm and light at the same time. The acrylic and polyamide give the shape structure and durability, so the cardigan holds its form through wear and wash.

The design is elegantly simple: open-front cardigan with no closure (just throw it on), long sleeves, ribbed edges at the cuffs, neckline and hem for a proper classic finish. Sits at the hip.

The Soft Rose stripe is properly considered — pink, beige and warm brown tones running through the knit, warm and quietly grown-up. Perfect for lift on grey days.

Genuinely one of those pieces you'll reach for on autumn Sundays, on chilly office mornings, on evening walks when the sun's about to drop. A wardrobe workhorse in a lovely colourway.
