Chartreuse by Baby Cocktails
Chartreuse by Baby Cocktails
The lines of these cables are rhythmic and bold, and the idea here was all about emphasizing that. They are classic, but not exactly. And the geometry inside them is just asymmetric enough to keep them interesting.
This design features a version of Elizabeth Zimmermann’s bottom up seamless construction with a saddle shoulder and a shirt back. Again, it’s basic but not exactly.
Chartreuse features bold cables, a cozy length, pockets, and a shawl collar.
