The Bailey sweater is a collaboration with local Hudson-valley artist: Gemma Bailey. The graphic, intarsia-technique, is a translation of one of the artist’s bold, abstract floral artworks with a textural multi-color short fringe tape applied to the sleeves. (This piece is also available without fringe).The Bailey has a relaxed silhouette, side-splits and straight sleeves. The sweater is anchored with wide-rib trims at the cuffs and mock-neck. The piece is ethically made from the softest, Peruvian alpaca yarn to be a wearable art, statement piece that you can cocoon in.
