Product Insights
Twik's Heart Buttons Cardigan, an affordable $69 entry into Simons' in-house heritage line since 1952, is exclusively designed in Canada and defined by its heavy polished metallic heart buttons—solid, jewelry-like, and securely stitched, unlike competitors' versions. Its regular fit with ribbed edging contrasts with oversized trends, while the 60% reprocessed cotton/40% acrylic blend reduces water usage by up to 90%, softens after washing, resists pilling, and retains shape for lasting wear. This lightweight to medium-weight knit layers neatly under jackets without bulk, but the cardigan is currently out of stock, reflecting a confirmed micro-trend across retailers.

This light-slate blue cardigan is very well-made. The attention to details, like the buttons, is Simon’s at its best. The style is classic. This cardigan fits well, feels wonderful & is a staple of any wardrobe. Highly recommend!

Very nice sweater. Fitted rather than loose, but fits true to size. I am returning only bc the red is not the “blue-red” shade I was looking for.
