W5424 Crop High-Neck Sweater Gauge 5 Laminated Rib Bronze — Women's Knitwear Made in Italy
Cropped. Coated. Completely Intentional.
The 4K W5424 is a high-neck crop sweater by LA HAINE INSIDE US, knitted in gauge 5 with a laminated rib treatment that catches light like burnished metal. Micro tears at the hem introduce a deliberate rawness — a tension between refinement and deconstruction that defines the label’s Italian avant-garde vision. In bronze, it is warm, architectural, and impossible to ignore.
Why This Sweater Is Different
- Gauge 5 Knit: A fine, dense construction that gives the sweater structure and a clean, precise silhouette
- Laminated Rib: Coated ribbing with a metallic bronze finish — tactile, dimensional, unique to each piece
- Micro Tears at Hem: Deliberate deconstructive detail that adds edge and artisanal character
- High Neck: Elongates the silhouette and frames the face with quiet authority
- Crop Length: Designed to be worn with high-waisted pieces — precise proportions, maximum impact
- 74% Polyester, 26% Polyamide: A technical blend engineered for shape retention and durability
- Made in Italy: Crafted in Italian ateliers with artisanal attention to finish and detail
- LA HAINE INSIDE US: Italian avant-garde label where material intelligence meets deconstructive design

The Moment You Put It On
It sits high on the neck, close to the skin. The laminated rib catches the light — bronze, warm, almost liquid. The crop length is deliberate: it ends exactly where it should, creating a proportion that feels considered rather than casual. The micro tears at the hem are not damage. They are a signature.
This is a sweater that knows what it is. Wear it with wide-leg trousers and let the waist speak. Wear it under a blazer and let the neck do the work. Either way, it does not go unnoticed.
The Art of Laminated Rib Knit
Gauge 5 knitwear sits between fine and mid-gauge — dense enough to hold structure, light enough to drape. The lamination process coats the rib surface with a metallic finish that is heat-bonded into the fabric, not printed on top. This means it moves with the knit, flexes without cracking, and develops a subtle patina over time. In bronze, the effect is warm and dimensional — a surface that reads differently under every light source.
How to Wear It
- High-Contrast Day: Bronze crop sweater + black high-waisted wide-leg trousers + leather loafers
- Tonal Bronze: Pair with camel or cognac tones for a warm, editorial monochrome look
- Layered Edge: Crop sweater under an oversized blazer + straight-leg jeans + ankle boots
- Evening Minimal: Sweater + tailored midi skirt + strappy heels + no jewellery needed
Care Instructions
- Hand wash cold or dry clean only
- Do not tumble dry — lay flat to dry
- Do not iron directly on laminated surface
- Store folded to preserve rib structure and laminated finish
