As we approach Christmas the inevitable patterned sweater is sure to become a more and more common sight. But don't worry, it doesn't mean it have to be an orgy in Cosby sweaters out there. There are actually a number of tasteful options, as the patterned sweaters have become a must-have in many designer's collections.
One label that not only features it but has built it's entire brand around it is Arne & Carlos, founded by it's namesake duo consisting of a swede and a norwegian (Everybody knows that the patterned sweater originated from Norway, right? Which makes this authentic right here.) The duo draws inspiration from their Scandinavian heritage, using century old techniques and have the pieces made by artisans in Peru, much of it hand made.
This cardigan is a nice example of what results from that mix of Scandinavian tradition and design and Peruvian craftmanship. The reindeer pattern gives it a nice holiday feeling and the quality is evident. The only question is Christmas appropriate red or eye-popping blue?
