One Button. A Different Kind of Drape.
The W5455 by LA HAINE INSIDE US turns black stretch viscose jersey into a sculptural layer. A shoulder button and front-point buttonhole let the fabric gather into a deep, looped front drape, while the shorter back contrasts with the long hanging front panel.
Why This Cardigan Is Different
- Shoulder fastening: A single visible shoulder button anchors the draped front rather than a row of centre-front buttons.
- Two configurations: Wear fastened for a deep cowl-like loop, or release the front point for longer falling panels.
- Asymmetric lengths: A short back and elongated front create a deliberate contrast.
- Viscose-rich jersey: Listed as 94% viscose and 6% elastane, with fluid folds and stretch.
- Long sleeves: Narrow sleeves gather at the wrists, as shown in the supplier photographs.
- Black palette: Tonal dressing keeps the focus on the shape and falling fabric.
- Layering potential: Unlike a standard button-through cardigan, this piece changes its front silhouette when the shoulder fastening is released.
- Women's regular fit: The listed fit is regular; check actual measurements rather than relying on campaign proportions.

The Moment You Put It On
Fasten the shoulder point and the jersey settles into a low, curved fold. Against a simple black base layer, the front becomes the focal point without needing extra decoration.
Release the fastening and the mood changes. The long panels fall freely while the short back keeps the silhouette distinct, giving one cardigan two ways to frame your outfit.
The Art of Viscose Jersey
The listed viscose-rich jersey is paired with 6% elastane for stretch. Its fluid appearance lets the shoulder-anchored construction form folds rather than a rigid front. Fibre sourcing, processing certifications and product-specific environmental performance have not been supplied; no sustainability guarantee is claimed.
How to Wear It
- Evening: Fasten the shoulder point over an opaque black bodysuit and fitted trousers.
- Everyday: Leave the panels open over a simple top and straight-leg trousers.
- Architectural layering: Contrast the short back and long front with high-waisted wide-leg trousers, allowing the front panel to fall over the waistband.
- Travel styling: Pair with a fitted base layer, stretch trousers and black boots; adjust the fastening to change the drape.
Care Instructions
Follow the sewn-in label first. Earlier listing guidance recommends cold hand washing or a delicate machine cycle, no tumble drying, flat or hanging drying, low reverse-side ironing, no bleach, and flat or hanging storage. These methods have not been checked against the actual label; confirm permitted washing, drying and steaming before treatment.
