Soft. Feminine. Effortlessly elegant.

Wear Arabesque with light-wash jeans, linen trousers, or a satin skirt. The wide neckline can be worn classically or pulled slightly off one shoulder for a more relaxed and feminine look.

The story behind the design
Arabesque is inspired by soft pastel colors, organic lines, and the relaxed elegance of 70s bohemian fashion. The wide boat neck allows the sweater to drape naturally over the shoulders, while the wide stripes and defined cuffs create a feminine look with character.
