Louise Misha | Lunami Cloud Cardigan - Floral Embroidered Knit

The Lunami Cloud cardigan opens with a plunging V-neck framed in rickrack trim, an unexpected finishing touch that turns a classic knit silhouette into something more graphic and considered. The cardigan sits in a solid, mottled colourway that reads as texture rather than flat colour, giving the knit a hand-worked, slightly irregular surface that catches light differently across the body. Scattered over this ground are handmade floral embroideries, each one worked by hand in Marie Pidancet's Paris studio, so no two cardigans carry the exact same placement or density of stitching. This is a piece built on craft detail rather than print or repeat pattern. In the hand, the knit is composed of Tencel, alpaca and polyamide, a blend chosen to balance drape against structure. Tencel brings a cool, almost liquid smoothness to the surface, alpaca adds warmth and a soft, slightly hairy loft, and polyamide gives the whole construction resilience so the rickrack edging and button placket hold their shape wear after wear. The result is a knit that feels light against the skin but has enough body to stand away from the torso rather than clinging to it, which is what allows the puffed sleeves to hold their volume. The fit is slightly cropped, landing at a proportion designed to sit above the natural waistline, which shortens the torso visually and leaves room to layer a shirt, blouse or fine knit underneath without bulk. Three front buttons close the cardigan at the centre front, offering a range from fully fastened and neat to open and worn loose over the shoulders. The puffed sleeves are the structural counterpoint to the plunging neckline, gathering at the shoulder and tapering toward the wrist, so the volume stays contained rather than overwhelming the frame. Movement in this cardigan comes from the interplay between the fitted, cropped body and the fuller sleeve: as the arm moves, the puffed shape shifts and settles, giving the garment a soft, unstructured animation rather than a rigid silhouette. The V-neck opens further when the buttons are left undone, letting the rickrack trim frame the collarbone. This makes it a piece that moves easily between daytime and evening registers depending on how it is styled. For everyday wear, layer it over a simple white tee or fine-gauge knit and let the embroidered florals do the talking against denim or tailored trousers. For evening, wear it buttoned over a slip dress, using the plunging neckline and rickrack edge as the statement detail against otherwise plain fabric. Either way, this is a cardigan built to be the focal point of an outfit rather than a background layer.
