Hooded cashmere cardigan ALETHE

Navy Cashmere Cardigan ALETHE – Timeless Colour, Exceptional Softness

The ALETHE in navy is a long hooded cashmere cardigan that brings together depth of colour and the unmistakable softness of 100% cashmere. Handcrafted in a lightweight 1-ply knit, it drapes with quiet elegance — structured enough to feel considered, relaxed enough to wear every day. Navy is a colour that works across seasons and occasions, and in cashmere, it carries a richness that elevates even the simplest outfit.

At 84–88 cm in length, the ALETHE creates a long, flowing silhouette that elongates the figure and layers naturally over almost anything. The open-front design and included knitted belt allow you to wear it loose for a relaxed feel, or belted for a more defined shape.

Why Navy Cashmere?

Navy is one of the most enduring colours in a wardrobe — neither as stark as black nor as casual as grey, it occupies a space of considered, quiet sophistication. A navy cashmere cardigan pairs effortlessly with whites, creams, warm browns, and other neutrals, as well as holding its own against bolder tones. It photographs beautifully and wears equally well in professional and casual settings.

The 1-ply cashmere construction keeps the ALETHE light and fluid — this is not a heavy knit, but a graceful one. It provides natural warmth without bulk, making it a genuinely wearable piece across most of the year.

Design Details

• Large hood — adds a relaxed, modern dimension to the long cardigan silhouette
• Two patch pockets — practical and seamlessly part of the design
• Knitted belt included — adjust fit and shape as you prefer
• External seams — a subtle design detail adding texture and character
• Straight cut — flattering and easy to layer
• Long sleeves — full coverage for cooler weather

The ALETHE is also available in grey, black, and off-white — each with the same construction and attention to detail.

How to Style a Navy Cashmere Cardigan

Navy works particularly well with cream or off-white underneath — a fine-knit cream top, a white shirt, or a light slip dress all complement the depth of the navy tone. For a tonal look, pair the ALETHE with dark navy or deep indigo trousers. It also layers well over light grey or stone-coloured pieces for a cool-toned, understated palette.

Belt the ALETHE for a more polished daytime look, or wear it open over wide-leg trousers for relaxed weekend dressing. The hood adds an informal element that keeps the look grounded — this is a cardigan that dresses up or down without effort.

Sizing & Fit

Available in sizes XS to XL. Our model Diana is 173 cm (5’7″) and wears size S. The straight cut fits true to size — sizing up gives a more relaxed, oversized drape. See our size chart for full measurements.

Care Instructions

Hand wash inside out in cool water (30°C) with a mild detergent, or dry clean. Lay flat to dry to preserve shape. Avoid hanging wet cashmere — it stretches under its own weight. Stored and cared for correctly, cashmere only becomes softer with time.
