Product Insights
The Fluid-Knit Open-Front Cardigan by Contemporaine offers a sustainable choice with 100% recycled viscose that reduces deforestation and carbon footprint while delivering a silky drape and breathability similar to conventional viscose. Its fluid knit holds shape for a flowing silhouette that releases body heat for a cooling effect, but it pills over time under friction and snags on sharp objects. Designed to drape rather than hug, it runs true to size with the option to size down for a closer fit. It functions as a lightweight cover-up ideal for mild spring and autumn days, not warm enough for cold weather alone, and while it breathes better than polyester, it can feel damp in high humidity due to moisture retention.

Great little open front cardigan.
This is a lovely soft cardigan. I plan to wear it with a sleeveless linen dress that I also ordered online from Simon’s. Quality is very good.
boléro
décevant (donc retour) car le tricot est très mince ce qui fait que c'est transparent la photo et la description étaient différentes de la réalité
Légèreté et douceur.
Ce boléro tombe bien, il ne se froisse pas vraiment et est surtout très agréable au toucher. J’adore!

A rétréci 🤷🏼
Bien qu’ayant suivi les recommandations du manufacturier pour laver mon boléro, il a beaucoup rétréci. Je vais le repasser à l’envers à basse température en espérant qu’il reprendra sa forme originale! Je recommande donc de prendre la grandeur supérieure pour être certaine qu’il fasse bien après le premier lavage.
Bien
Il est fin. Très bien à porter lors des journées un peu fraîches

Pretty sweater for summer
My only complaint is the fabric. Wrinkles easily. Can’t be put in dryer and might shrink if ironed.
Wasn't "Flowy"
I bought this to go with a linen skirt. It was nicely made, but was too small and l bought a large, which would normally be fine. Sad. It had to go back.
Très bien.
Exactement ce que je cherchais
Rétrécissement

Great option
Love the feel and how light it is. It does wrinkle easily and I suspect will stretch out between washes.
Looks Great
This cardigan will be a nice piece for any outfit. I do worry a bit that it may shrink in the wash but I'll have to deal with that when I get there.
Nice fit and colour
The cardigan fits perfectly and the colour and fabric is what I was looking for.

I bought this to use a layer for travel. It's thin, hopefully doesn't snag, but should be good for a light cover for cool evenings.

Rétrécie même à l’eau froide
Jamais porté. Je l’ai essayé,il était parfait. Je l’ai lavé avant de le porter et il a beaucoup rétrécie. Pourtant, lavé à délicat et à l’eau froide. Il est beaucoup trop petit maintenant.

Lightweight and Comfy
This sweater is lightweight and comfortable. The sleeves are long, unlike most boleros that have 3/4 length sleeves. Great for winter to wear as an extra layer that isn't too warm or bulky!

Nice cardigan
Nice summer cardigan. Bought size L. Fits just right Will see what happens after first washing .
Really nice open no-button cardigan
This cardigan is so soft and has a fine feminine appearance. I needed a "light" cardigan to wear over other tops underneath my winter coat (an extra though not bulky layer) and also to the gym to wear over t-shirts, for when I first arrive, until I get climatized to the air conditioning. This cardigan meets both those needs and is perfect!! Exactly what I've been looking for!!

4th one purchased
This is the 4th color I've ordered, but this brown color is awful. I'm Disappointed that the color of brown is so dull. It doesn't go with any of my other browns. I'll be returning. . . . . very sad, because this is the nicest cardigan I've ever had.
