A modern play of texture and color, the Irida Vest is designed for easy styling and joyful knitting.

A graphic 3-color motif creates a rhythmic fabric that works beautifully in both high-contrast and tonal color palettes.
The sharp V-neck is framed with clean twisted-rib edges and a centered stitch for a polished finish.

At the back, subtle slanted shoulder lines shape the upper body and flow into a smooth applied i-cord.
Choose a relaxed, boxy fit or style it more tailored! Either way, it’s an easy layer you’ll reach for again and again.
