Every fall, the same thing happened in our boutique: a woman bought one of these cardigans, and two weeks later she was back for another color. Harper chose it for a reason. The rib is thick enough to hold its shape and light enough to wear from September to March. The hem falls in soft scallops instead of a straight line, so it flatters without clinging. And the five gold buttons, as big as coins, do the work of jewelry on a plain morning. One cardigan, ten colors — from ivory and sand to navy, burgundy and chocolate brown.
This year, Harper and Tom’s health no longer allows them to run the shop. Rather than close quietly, their children Valentina and Ethan are seeing every last cardigan to a good home at up to 70% off — our thank-you for 18 years. None of them will be reordered: when a color is gone, it is gone.
With love,
Harper, Tom, Valentina & Ethan
