Ladies kimono cardigan

As the name suggests, the shape of this cardigan is inspired by traditional Japanese clothing. The patent knit jacket with short batwing sleeves closes at the bottom with a metal snap. Narrow cuffs in wide rib knit finish the sleeve openings, torso, front panels and neckline. The cardigan is equipped with two patch pockets, the cotton used comes from controlled organic cultivation.

The work of fashion label Lanius is influenced by three factors: first, a style characterised by sophisticated designs and forms, secondly the use of certified raw materials and thirdly the guarantee that all garments have been produced under fair working conditions. Depending on the garment, one factor may get centre stage, but the other factors don’t move out of the focus – however, importance is always attached to outstanding quality both in terms of materials and finish. The label was founded in 1999 by Claudia Lanius, who works on all her ideas and designs in her Cologne studio; she has them developed by her team and then assembled by producers in several countries.
