Lisbon is a seamless, top down cardigan with raglan shaping and fabulously bobbled cuffs. It goes with everything in your wardrobe, and (to borrow a phrase from Tan France of Queer Eye fame) elevates it. This is the cardigan you’ll want to wear all autumn long!

The bobbled sleeves were inspired by the Casa dos Bicos, a 16th century building in Lisbon’s Alfama neighborhood. During a recent trip to Lisbon I fell in love with the façade of the Casa dos Bicos— it almost looks bobbled!
