This is a lightweight lace cardigan perfect for summer or layering to transition into fall! It’s such a simple statement piece so when I was naming it I wanted to find something that perfectly described just that. That’s when I found the word Fika which is a Swedish word for coffee and/or cake break, which instantly spoke to me, and here we have the Fika Cardigan.
