Style Notes — The Tara Cardigan

Named after Tara, or Avalokitesvara — the Buddhist Bodhisattva of compassion — this piece carries a quiet sense of presence and grace. Tara, whose name means “star” in Sanskrit, represents light and guidance, and there is indeed something luminous about this garment.

Practical, flattering, and endlessly versatile, the Haruka Tara Cardigan moves fluidly between moments.
Finely knitted in single-ply lambswool, it features a generous shawl collar that drapes naturally along the body. Long, vertical lines lengthen the form, while the collar can be wrapped across the body, pulled over the head for warmth, or flicked over one or both shoulders for a sculptural effect.

This is the only Haruka style that includes a matching lambswool obi belt. The belt features a neatly finished opening to secure it cleanly at the waist — wear the cardigan wrapped and cinched for structure, or left open for relaxed movement. The belt can also be worn separately as a standalone accessory.

Extra-long ribbed cuffs with thumbholes offer flexible comfort — fold them down to warm the hands or turn them back for a more tailored finish.

Soft, elegant, and adaptable, the Tara Cardigan brings a sense of calm refinement to winter dressing.

Materials and Care

Knitted from 100% pure lambswool. Treat natural fibres with care and they’ll last for years.

Washing Instructions:
Hand wash or use a cold knitwear cycle with gentle wool detergent.
Do not wring or tumble dry. Lay flat to dry, or dry clean.

Lambswool doesn’t need washing after every wear — simply air between uses.
Store folded rather than hung to maintain its shape.
All pure wool knits may pill slightly over time; gently remove with a wool comb if needed.
