A little classic. A little rebellious.
Who says a classic sweater has to play by the rules?
Meet Rebel Muse, a top-down knitted pullover with a little unexpected attitude! Its relaxed stockinette silhouette lets the statement sleeves steal the show, featuring dramatic open shoulders and four knitted straps that create a striking ladder-like effect.

Finished with a cozy ribbed neckline, matching cuffs, and subtle side slits, Rebel Muse strikes that perfect balance between everyday comfort and a little daring.

Knit it in a soft cotton blend for an effortlessly wearable sweater that’s anything but ordinary.
