W5395 Cardigan - Black Asymmetric Oversized Bamboo Jersey Double-Layer Hood Double-Slider Zip Women's Italian

Bamboo Jersey. Asymmetric. Double-Layer Hood. The Cardigan That Wears Like a Coat.

The W5395 is an asymmetric oversized cardigan in 94% bamboo, 6% elastane jersey — the same bamboo jersey as the W5393 crop sweater, but in a full-length, oversized cardigan silhouette with a double-layer hood with drawstring, a double-slider metal zip opening, and pockets. The bamboo jersey is softer than cotton, more breathable than synthetic jersey, and naturally antibacterial. The asymmetric construction means the front panels fall unevenly — a deliberate design decision that adds movement and visual interest to the fluid bamboo jersey. Made in Italy by LA HAINE INSIDE US.

Why This Cardigan Is Different

• 94% Bamboo Jersey: Bamboo is a natural, fast-growing fibre that requires no pesticides and minimal water to cultivate. In jersey form, bamboo creates a fabric that is softer than cotton, more breathable than synthetic jersey, and naturally antibacterial (bamboo contains bamboo kun, a natural antimicrobial agent). The 6% elastane adds recovery and stretch without changing the hand or appearance of the bamboo jersey. The bamboo jersey drapes with a fluid, natural quality that synthetic fabrics cannot replicate.
• Asymmetric Construction: The front panels are cut asymmetrically — falling unevenly at the hem and creating a silhouette that reads differently from the front and the side. In bamboo jersey, the asymmetry is amplified by the fluid drape of the fabric — the uneven hem catching the air as you move, the panels falling with natural movement.
• Double-Layer Hood with Drawstring: A hood constructed from two layers of bamboo jersey — the doubled construction adds structure and warmth to the hood while maintaining the fluid quality of the bamboo jersey. The drawstring allows the hood to be tightened or loosened, changing the silhouette of the piece.
• Double-Slider Metal Zip Opening: A zip with two sliders that can be opened from the top or the bottom — allowing the cardigan to be opened at the hem for movement while remaining closed at the chest for warmth. The metal zip adds a cool, industrial contrast to the soft bamboo jersey.
• Pockets: Functional pockets integrated into the asymmetric bamboo jersey body.
• Oversized Silhouette: The cardigan is cut generously — the bamboo jersey falling with volume and fluid drape, the asymmetric hem creating movement at the bottom.
• Sustainability: Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants on earth — it can be harvested in 3–5 years, requires no replanting after harvest, and sequesters more CO₂ than equivalent tree plantations. Bamboo jersey is biodegradable and produced without the chemical-intensive processes required for synthetic fibres.
• Made in Italy: Asymmetric construction, double-layer hood, and finishing all completed in Italy under LA HAINE INSIDE US's atelier standards.

The Moment You Put It On

Bamboo jersey against the skin is immediately different from cotton — softer, more fluid, cooler. The oversized cardigan falls with the natural drape of the bamboo jersey, the asymmetric hem catching the air as you move. The double-layer hood adds structure and warmth at the head; the double-slider zip allows the front to be opened from the bottom for movement while remaining closed at the chest.

The W5395 is a cardigan that wears like a coat. The oversized bamboo jersey silhouette, the double-layer hood, and the double-slider zip give it the presence and functionality of outerwear — but the bamboo jersey makes it breathable and comfortable enough to wear year-round.

The Art of Bamboo Jersey

Bamboo is a natural fibre derived from bamboo grass — one of the fastest-growing plants on earth, requiring no pesticides, minimal water, and no replanting after harvest. In jersey form, bamboo creates a fabric that is softer than cotton (the fibres are naturally round and smooth), more breathable than synthetic jersey (bamboo fibres are naturally porous), and naturally antibacterial (bamboo contains bamboo kun, a natural antimicrobial agent that inhibits bacterial growth). The 6% elastane in the W5395 adds recovery and stretch without changing the hand or appearance of the bamboo jersey. Bamboo jersey is biodegradable and produced without the chemical-intensive processes required for polyester or nylon.

How to Wear It

• Zip Closed, Hood Up: Close the double-slider zip and pull the drawstring hood — the oversized bamboo jersey falls as a complete, fluid column, the asymmetric hem visible at the bottom.
• Zip Open at Hem: Open the bottom slider for movement over wide-leg trousers — the cardigan falls open at the hem while remaining closed at the chest, the asymmetric panels visible.
• As a Coat: Wear over a fitted base layer and trousers — the oversized bamboo jersey and double-layer hood give the W5395 the presence of outerwear.
• Hood Down, Zip Open: Wear with hood down and zip open — the asymmetric bamboo jersey falls open, the fluid drape of the fabric creating movement as you walk.

Care Instructions

• Machine wash cold, delicate cycle — bamboo jersey is durable but requires gentle handling to preserve the softness and drape
• Do not tumble dry — lay flat or hang to dry to preserve the bamboo jersey shape and asymmetric construction
• Iron on low heat on the reverse if needed — bamboo jersey responds well to light steaming
• Do not bleach — bleach will damage the bamboo fibre
• Store flat or hung
