Saison
Saison, by Maine-based designer Bristol Ivy, is an effervescent and light pullover, featuring cascading cables and texture across the yoke, down the sleeves, and side panels. The cleverly shaped front yoke places the cable panel in an aesthetically pleasing location that emphasizes the stitches without distraction. Made from the top-down in our springy + light Weld, this pullover is the ideal transitional weather sweater for now and forever.
