Alma Cardigan

Alma Cardigan

The Alma Cardigan by Charl knitwear draws inspiration from the nautical stripes. Once worn by sailors and fishermen along the British coast. Knitted from the lightest-weight certified British wool, it offers a neat, refined fit with a timeless sense of ease — a perfect layer for shifting seasons.

Crafted in Italy by expert knitters, the Alma features wide stripes reminiscent of the expansive Norfolk skies. Every detail reflects exceptional craftsmanship — from the seamless continuation of stripes across the front, shoulders, armholes, and button placket. To the tailored shoulder line and neat hem that create a flattering silhouette.

Finished with oversized navy corozo buttons made from sustainable natural nut, the cardigan balances classic maritime style with modern refinement. It can be worn casually over a simple tee or styled on its own for effortless elegance.

The Alma Cardigan is named after Alma West, a Sheringham fisherman from the early 20th century — a tribute to tradition, coastal heritage, and fine craftsmanship.

Fit & Details:

• Available in two sizes: XS/S (UK 8–10) and M/L (UK 12–14)

• Long, slim sleeves and a neatly structured fit

Graceful, versatile, and beautifully made, the Alma Cardigan is a modern classic that celebrates the enduring spirit of British knitwear.
