Cockle shell jacket is a soft draping cardigan or jacket with a distinctive lace shell design, which is complimented with a deep garter yoke, cuffs, hem and trim. The lovely, flattering shape of this jacket comes from the gentle drape of the fabric.

Cockle shell would love to spend it’s days at the beach hunting for shells, eating candy floss and building sand castles, but it realises that it can’t always be all play, so will take you on shopping trips, learn about art at museums and even help out with the housework, so long as there’s a hint of holiday planning sometime in the future.

The lovely, flattering shape of this jacket comes entirely from the drape of the fabric.
