Product Insights
The Marni Floral Motif Short-Sleeve Openwork Cardigan offers a breathable, moisture-wicking openwork knit with an intarsia floral pattern that won't peel, fade, or pill, and a hand-embroidered signature at the back neck. Its regular fit eliminates the need to size down, but the sheer fabric requires layering with a camisole, partially blocking airflow. At 87% off the original $1,495, priced at $199.95, it delivers artisanal craftsmanship and durable construction at a clearance price.
