BELMONTE
(50% Organic Cotton, 50% Organic Wool)

Verbena is part of a set of cardigans designed by Filipa Carneiro.

They both share the same construction, with some details that
distinguish them: the yarn used, the length of the sleeves and
the collar.
Made with Belmonte, Verbena is the short-sleeved version and
is perfect for mid-season. Colour 27
