Product Insights
Contemporaine's Funnel-Neck Fitted Ribbed Cardigan, designed in-house by Simons for career women, revives a 1950s Balenciaga–Givenchy silhouette that has returned to 2026 runways with an 875% search surge. Its 3–4.5-inch funnel neck blocks drafts, stays upright under outerwear, and adds a Scandi-leaning edge, while the fine ribbed knit stretches structurally without elastane, breathes better than synthetic-heavy knits, and drapes fluidly with a body-hugging fit that reduces layering bulk. Made of 80% reprocessed viscose and 20% nylon, it offers a polished silhouette at $59 CAD—40–75% less than comparable Massimo Dutti and & Other Stories cardigans—but requires dry cleaning, adding solvent-based environmental costs.
