The VERA AURA cardigan by ALMA & LOVIS is the kind of wool cardigan you put on and never want to take off. The combination of soft wool and cashmere feels wonderfully comfortable and warm, while the deep purple-blue color Aura gives the cardigan a rich and distinctive look.
The full-length zipper makes the cardigan practical and versatile. Wear it fully closed as a warm sweater or open over a blouse, shirt, or turtleneck. The high collar keeps your neck pleasantly warm and gives the model a sporty, polished appearance.

How to style the color Aura?
Aura is a deep color between dark blue and purple. As a result, the cardigan combines beautifully with denim, black, gray, camel, burgundy, and various shades of purple.
Wear the cardigan over jeans for a simple daily outfit, or pair it with trousers and a blouse for a more polished look. It is also a lovely warm layer over a dress or skirt.
Can a wool and cashmere cardigan pill?
Yes, friction can cause small fuzz or pills to form on soft natural fibers. This is normal for wool and cashmere and says nothing about the quality of the cardigan.
You can gently remove these with a Gleener fabric shaver so that the knit remains beautiful and well-maintained. Always handle the cardigan gently and do not pull on loose fibers.
How to wash the VERA wool and cashmere cardigan?
Wool and cashmere do not need to be washed after every wear. Let the cardigan air out properly after wearing. Often, that is enough to freshen it up.
Is washing necessary after all? Always follow the care label, choose a cold wool wash cycle, and use a small amount of Lanalicious wool detergent. Close the zipper before washing, do not wring the cardigan out, and do not use a dryer. Carefully reshape it and lay it flat to dry.
