{"product_id":"petite-mendigote-cardigan-lea-226-marine","title":"Petite Mendigote | Lea Merino Wool Cardigan - Navy","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is a quiet confidence to a well-made cardigan, and the Lea 226 wears its ease openly. Cut in a deep navy that reads closer to midnight than daytime blue, it has the kind of understated presence that anchors a wardrobe rather than shouting for attention. The silhouette is classic cardigan: a relaxed, straight body, set sleeves, and a button-through front that layers cleanly over shirting or sits alone as its own top half. It is the sort of piece that looks considered without looking effortful.\n\nThe fabric is 100% merino wool, and that single detail does a lot of work. Merino carries warmth without bulk, so the cardigan insulates in the way good wool does — from the inside, quietly — rather than through sheer thickness. The hand is soft against the skin, fine-gauge rather than chunky, which keeps the silhouette lean instead of blanket-like. It has natural stretch recovery, so the knit keeps its shape through a day of wear, and a breathability that makes it suitable for layering indoors as much as for facing cooler air outside.\n\nThe fit sits between fitted and relaxed: close enough through the shoulders to hold its structure, loose enough through the body to layer over a blouse or a fine merino tee without pulling. The proportions are deliberately simple — no exaggerated volume, no cropped hem — which is what makes it so easy to fold into an existing wardrobe. Set-in sleeves and a straight hem give it a slightly tailored edge, while the button placket keeps the front adaptable: worn closed for a polished, buttoned-up look, or open and unstructured over a plain top.\n\nMerino wool moves with the body rather than against it. The knit has enough give to move through a day — reaching, layering, folding into a bag if the temperature shifts — without the stiffness that heavier wools can carry. Worn buttoned to the neck with tailored trousers, it reads as quietly formal; left open over denim and a white tee, it drops into off-duty register just as easily. This is a cardigan built for the transitional months, when a coat is too much and a t-shirt alone is not enough — the layer that solves the in-between.\n\nStyle it over a silk camisole for evening, where the wool adds warmth without weight, or under a longline coat for the coldest days, where it becomes the insulating middle layer rather than the outer statement. With straight-leg denim and loafers, it settles into an off-duty uniform that needs nothing else.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PETITE MENDIGOTE","offers":[{"title":"MARINE \/ 1-S","offer_id":49404518760603,"sku":"214 LEA 226","price":1590.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MARINE \/ 2-M","offer_id":49404518793371,"sku":"214 LEA 226","price":1590.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MARINE \/ 3-L","offer_id":49404518826139,"sku":"214 LEA 226","price":1590.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/1730\/9339\/files\/PETITE_MENDIGOTE-214_LEA_226-MARINE_01.jpg?v=1788015110","url":"https:\/\/clemenceworld.com\/products\/petite-mendigote-cardigan-lea-226-marine","provider":"Clémence by rue Madame","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
