Product Insights
Sacai's S Crest cardigan is a cotton-dominant knit (61% cotton, 37% cashmere) that trades the plushness of pure cashmere for a smooth, matte hand, a structured upright drape, and superior resistance to pilling and stretching—making it lighter, more breathable, and better suited to transitional seasons than dense winter cashmere. True to size at UK 10/Sacai 2 (size up for broad shoulders or a fuller bust), it carries Sacai's 1999 knitwear heritage and a devoted following of Pharrell Williams, Sofia Coppola, and Charlotte Gainsbourg; at CAD 1,695, the price buys Tokyo provenance and insider cachet, not the cashmere content.
Verified claims
- Handfeel
- The 61% cotton, 37% cashmere, 1% nylon, 1% polyurethane knit reads smooth and matte, not plush.
- Fabric drape
- The cotton majority gives a structured, upright drape that holds the silhouette instead of flowing fluidly.
- Durability
- The 61% cotton, 37% cashmere, 1% nylon, 1% polyurethane blend is structurally less prone to stretching than an all-cashmere knit and more resistant to pilling, though the sole review reports the cardigan arrived looking pilled.
- Wear experience
- The 61% cotton, 37% cashmere, 1% nylon, 1% polyurethane knit is up to 20% lighter and more breathable than an all-cashmere knit, with a smooth matte hand, so it layers as a transitional-season piece rather than dense winter insulation.
- Sizing
- This V-neck cardigan's relaxed fit includes dropped-shoulder ease and room through the body; a UK 10 runs true to size at Sacai size 2, while broad shoulders or a fuller bust may size up to 3.
- Design Heritage
- Made in Japan, this cardigan descends from Sacai's founding 1999 knitwear range, created by Chitose Abe.
- Celebrity following
- Pharrell Williams, Sofia Coppola and Charlotte Gainsbourg are repeat Sacai devotees despite access to any label.
- Material
- Main fabric is 61% cotton / 37% cashmere / 1% nylon / 1% polyurethane — a cotton-majority knit, not plush pure cashmere.
- Price Context
- At CAD 1,695, the ask is Tokyo provenance and an insider following rather than fibre content alone.
- Pilling
- The 61% cotton, 37% cashmere, 1% nylon, 1% polyurethane blend is less prone to pilling than an all-cashmere knit at cuffs, placket, and side vents, but the one customer review reports visible pilling on delivery.
- Side vents
- This cardigan has a shorter rounded front hem and buttoned side vents: when buttoned, the hem stays closed for a straight silhouette; unbuttoned, the lower seams release so the hem can open into a softer A-line following the knit's drape.
- Care
- This cardigan should be professionally dry cleaned only; hand washing is not recommended because the care instructions state 'Do not wash' and 'Professionally clean'.
- Yarn weight / gauge
- The listing describes the knit as fine-knit, indicating a light, fine gauge rather than a bulky or heavy mid-weight sweater; no ply count or specific yarn weight is stated.

Item looked very pilled upon delivery. I was very worried this would progress and didn’t think it was worth it to take the risk given the price point.
