Saunio Cardigan

What’s the point of lacy cardigans, some may ask? Well, it’s all about the style – that’s for sure. Irina’s lacy knitted cardi will become your favorite for warm days. It doesn’t give much warmth, obviously, but provides cover-up that sometimes makes us feel better. Pair it with a dress, a bikini, or a long-sleeved top, and find a way it works best for you.
