Product Insights
The Nice Short-Sleeve Cardigan by Paloma Wool is a sheer, open-knit top that requires a camisole for modesty and hand-washing with enzyme-free detergent to prevent permanent stretching, with raglan sleeves and ribbed trim ensuring a true-to-size fit without distortion. Priced at $365 CAD—three times a high-street alternative but on par with Patinela's fabric—it uses 63% organic cotton, 30% post-consumer recycled nylon, and 7% silk, made in Spain to reduce transport emissions and support local production. The premium cost reflects sustainable materials and brand philosophy, though specialty detergents, careful handling, and necessary layering increase its overall cost of ownership.
Verified claims
- Care instructions
- Hand-wash with enzyme-free detergent, roll in a towel, dry flat, and iron on low heat.
- Fabric sensitivity
- The sheer knit has no elastane; improper care can cause permanent stretching.
- Maintenance cost
- Specialty detergents and careful handling increase maintenance costs.
- Sheerness
- Highly transparent; a camisole is necessary for modesty.
- Sizing
- True to size; size up if between sizes for a relaxed fit without distorting lines.
- Raglan sleeves
- Diagonal raglan seams and ribbed edges prevent tightness across shoulders and maintain neckline shape.
- Price benchmark
- At $365 CAD, this cardigan is roughly three times the price of a silk-blend short-sleeve cardigan from & Other Stories ($129 USD), and it uses the same 63% organic cotton, 30% recycled nylon, 7% silk blend as the €190 Patinela cardigan; the price difference reflects the transparent tart-green weave rather than a material upgrade.
- Cost of ownership
- Hand washing with enzyme-free detergent and the need for a camisole underneath raise the effective cost of ownership.
- Fit
- The knit has no elastane, so it holds its shape but does not stretch to mold to curves; between-size shoppers should size up for a relaxed fit, and raglan sleeves improve shoulder fit.
- Brand values
- Premium justified by sustainable materials, local production, and brand ethos.
- Production
- Made in Spain; Good On You identifies local manufacturing as a factor reducing the cardigan's carbon footprint, and the brand caps wholesale orders to avoid overwhelming suppliers.
- Construction
- Raglan sleeves and ribbed trim ensure a true-to-size fit without pulling or curling.
- Weave
- The deliberately transparent tart-green weave requires a camisole for modesty and, because it is more complex than the Patinela model's, helps justify the $365 CAD price over the €190 Patinela cardigan.
- Material
- 63% organic cotton, 30% post-consumer recycled nylon, 7% silk.
- Sustainability
- The cardigan's 63% organic cotton and 30% recycled nylon lower its climate impact versus virgin synthetic alternatives, while local Spanish manufacturing further reduces its carbon footprint.
- Brand philosophy
- Paloma Wool is an artistic project centered on the daily ritual of getting dressed.
- Knit construction
- The cardigan is a fine knit with an open stitch structure rather than elastane-based stretch, so it holds its shape but has limited give.
- Design details
- The cardigan has a V-neckline and button-front placket, with ribbed edging that keeps the hem and cuffs from curling.
