Birgita™ — Final Edit

The jumper that feels like a Sunday morning. Birgitta is a relaxed, V-neck knit designed for those days when you want comfort without looking like you’ve just rolled out of bed. It’s airy, soft, and doesn't cling—perfect for a coffee run or a casual day in the office.

What Makes It Work

• Relaxed Silhouette: Let's be direct: this is a "roomy" fit. It’s designed to drape comfortably over your frame, meaning it’s not for you if you’re looking for something tight or tailored. It’s all about ease.

• Cotton-Acrylic Blend: We’ve gone with a 60% cotton and 40% acrylic mix. You get the natural breathability of cotton combined with the durability of acrylic, so it keeps its shape after a wash rather than stretching out into a tent.

• Breathable "Open" Knit: The knit is slightly textured and breathable. It’s great for layering in the transitional seasons, but if the wind is really howling through the Cook Strait, you’ll definitely need a coat over the top.

• Ribbed Details: Finished with ribbed cuffs and a hem that actually stays put. You can push the sleeves up when you're busy and they’ll stay there, no dramas.

Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle (use a laundry bag to prevent snagging).

• Dry flat in the shade. Never hang a wet knit, or it will stretch out of shape.

• Do not tumble dry—high heat will ruin the fibres.

• Fold for storage; hanging knits leads to "shoulder bumps."
