Product Insights

The Openwork-Stripe Polo-Collar Cardigan by I'M BRIAN, a Seoul-based independent label in the Korean fashion movement, is a hybrid silhouette featuring directional openwork stripes that are semi-sheer, requiring a shirt underneath for coverage. Made from a cotton-acrylic blend that resists shrinkage and is machine-washable, it offers a boxy fit. Originally priced at $195 CAD, it was cleared at $39.95 (80% off) but is now out of stock. The design tradeoff: the openwork mesh stripes create a lightweight spring-summer layering piece, but demand a base layer and delicate care.
