The Golden Gate Bridge is an internationally recognized symbol representing perseverance, strength, and unity. The massive steel beams of the world’s most iconic suspension bridge not only connect the North and South peninsulas of the Bay Area, but also lift our eyes to the clouds in awe and fill our hearts with wonder.

The Golden Gate Sweater is inspired by its namesake’s color and architecture. Thick Brioche stitch columns run perpendicular throughout the sweater mimicking the iconic steel beams of the bridge. This sweater boasts a comfy turtle neck, long fitted sleeves, and a cropped waist, keeping the wearer warm and stylish even on the windiest of San Francisco days.
