Aura Sweater
To celebrate the release of the Aura Sweater, there’s a little introductory sale: use code AURA15 for a 15% discount until Monday, May 25th, 2026 (the end of the day, Helsinki time)!
The Aura Sweater is a love letter to the hazy, blurred beauty of silk mohair. By blending three strands for a thoughtful colour fade, this generously sized V-neck creates a luminous gradient that feels like a sunrise on your needles.
Aura Sweater features a slouchy drop shoulder and a relaxed fit; it’s designed to be the piece you reach for when you want to feel both warm and weightless.
