Paolo V-Neck

Mid-weight organic cotton knitwear has a particular ease to it, soft and breathable with just enough substance to drape rather than cling, and the Paolo leans into that quality fully with a slouchy V-neck silhouette and rib contrast details that give it shape without trying. In Dark Iris, a deep navy with violet undertones, this Fair Trade certified organic cotton sweater brings a quiet richness to everyday dressing.
