The Douette Cardigan
Soft. Never frumpy.
Five friends, one cardigan, twelve colours. Made for women who have earned something soft that still turns heads.

Our story
It started at a kitchen table.
Elena, Margaret, Claire, Simone and Rosa have been friends for years. One night Elena admitted she'd stopped clothes shopping. Half of what she saw was made for her daughter, and the other half felt like giving up.
The other four had the same story. So they each brought one piece they loved and made everyone try it on. Most didn't make it past the table.
“We were done choosing between frumpy and trying too hard.”
This cardigan did. Big gold buttons, soft knit, a hem that forgives. Douette comes from doux, French for soft.

Little things that make it feel expensive.
Five gold buttons
Big, flat and shiny. The first thing people notice, and the reason they ask where you got it.
Balloon sleeves
Dropped shoulders and full sleeves gathered at a ribbed cuff. Easy to move in, flattering on the arms.
A soft wavy hem
A scalloped edge that skims the hips instead of cutting across them.
Pockets and a collar
A shirt collar for a polished neckline, and side pockets for your hands or your keys.
Fit
Relaxed, roomy and true to size.
Sizes S to 3XL, with a generous oversized cut and a stretchy rib knit. It drapes instead of clinging, so it works on every shape.
Between sizes? Take your usual size for the relaxed look, or size down for a closer fit.

How does it feel?
Soft and stretchy, with a fine rib you can see in the light. It doesn't itch, keeps its shape and goes straight in the washing machine.

Relaxed and oversized with roomy balloon sleeves. Take your usual size. The size guide on the product page has the bust and length for every size.
How fast is shipping?
Free US shipping on every order. It ships from the US, and most orders arrive in 4 to 8 business days.
Can I return it?
Yes. If it isn't right, return it unworn within 14 days of delivery. Email support@douette.com and we will walk you through it.
How do I wash it?
Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. Button it up first so the buttons stay bright.
