Annabel R.
True to size
I'm usually a 12-14 in Australian brands and the size 14 fit me perfectly. Sits beautifully without being tight. I've already ordered a second one.
Charlotte W.
Quicker than expected
Ordered on Tuesday, had it on Friday. They quote 3-10 days but mine came in 2 working days. So impressed before I'd even tried it on.
Beverley S.
So comfortable and forgiving
At 64 I've stopped buying anything that doesn't feel good. This is so soft I forget I'm wearing it, and skims over the parts I'd rather not highlight. Wore it to my granddaughter's birthday. Compliments all afternoon.

Goes with everything I own
Bought it for work but ended up wearing it everywhere. Pairs with jeans on weekends, looks polished over a dress for dinner. The neutral palette means I'll wear it for years.
Vanessa K.
Holds its own
I've spent years buying expensive cashmere. This holds its own. Soft, dense, the stitching is impeccable. Took 9 days to arrive but worth the wait.
Quietly made in Sydney, worn for years
