Melange suit

Modern and fashionable design combines simplicity and comfort.

This set is a symbol of chic, warmth and comfort, especially if natural materials are used. In our case, it is a soft yarn made from merino wool and cotton with a melange effect. A straight silhouette pullover with an elongated shoulder line consists of stripes of stockinette and elastic. The stand-up collar is a continuation of the pattern. The same design is repeated on the skirt: the yoke and bottom placket are made with wide elastic, the main fabric is made with stockinette stitch, and the edges of the slit are finished with narrow elastic.
