Welcome to your new favourite sweater.

Maiden is made for chilling at home, she’s the sweater to throw on when you’re nipping outside, and she’s perfect for casual gatherings with good friends.

Relaxed and comfortable, with fun stripes, and a cute high-low hem (with hidden pizzazz!), she’ll make you feel instantly at-home.

Maiden is a satisfying combination of easy-to-wear and perfectly polished finish. Clever shaping through the raglan yoke creates a fabulously flattering fit, and special little details sprinkled throughout turn her into a beautifully constructed, handmade treasure.

Use a linen-blend yarn for a soft, relaxed vibe; pure wool to give her bounce and warmth, or add silk to create a sophisticated look and a fluid feel.
