Potala

“Potala” is a seamless open-front cardigan, especially warm thanks to the yak-merino-silk blend and a ribbed back.

Raglan and yoke increases, skillfully integrated in the ribbing pattern, and an optically slimming shawl collar give this garment its air of sophisticated elegance, while incorporated positive ease and overlapping fronts make sure it fits worry-free every day.
