W5455 Cardigan - Black Asymmetric Stretch Viscose Jersey Shoulder Button Buttonhole Front Women's Italian

Stretch Viscose Jersey. Asymmetric. Shoulder Button. The Cardigan That Closes Differently.

The W5455 is an asymmetric cardigan in stretch viscose jersey — 94% viscose, 6% elastane — with a front opening that closes with a button on the shoulder and a buttonhole at the front point. The closure is the defining detail: instead of a standard centre-front button, the W5455 closes diagonally — the button sits at the shoulder, the buttonhole at the opposite front point, creating an asymmetric closure that holds the asymmetric front panels in place. Made in Italy by LA HAINE INSIDE US.

Why This Cardigan Is Different

• Asymmetric Diagonal Closure: The front opening closes with a button on the shoulder and a buttonhole at the front point — a diagonal closure that runs from the shoulder to the opposite front hem. This is not a standard centre-front button: the closure creates an asymmetric line across the front of the cardigan, holding the asymmetric panels in place and creating a visual diagonal that reads differently from every angle. When open, the front panels fall freely; when closed, the diagonal closure defines the silhouette.
• 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 stretch viscose jersey, the asymmetry is amplified by the fluid drape of the fabric — the uneven hem catching the air as you move.
• Stretch Viscose Jersey: 94% viscose, 6% elastane — viscose is a semi-synthetic fibre derived from cellulose that drapes with a fluid, natural quality similar to silk. In jersey form, viscose creates a fabric that is soft, breathable, and fluid — it moves with the body and falls with natural weight. The 6% elastane adds recovery and stretch without changing the hand or drape of the viscose jersey. Unlike cotton jersey, viscose jersey has a natural sheen and a more fluid drape.
• Fluid Drape: The stretch viscose jersey drapes with a natural, fluid quality that amplifies the asymmetric construction — the uneven hem falling with movement and weight, the diagonal closure creating a defined line across the fluid surface.
• Made in Italy: Asymmetric construction, diagonal closure finishing, and all construction completed in Italy under LA HAINE INSIDE US's atelier standards.

The Moment You Put It On

The stretch viscose jersey is immediately fluid — softer than cotton, with a natural sheen and a drape that falls with weight. The asymmetric front panels fall unevenly; the diagonal closure runs from the shoulder to the opposite front point, creating a defined line across the fluid surface. When closed, the button at the shoulder and the buttonhole at the front point hold the asymmetric panels in place — the diagonal closure visible as a deliberate design element across the front of the cardigan.

Open the closure and the front panels fall freely — the asymmetric hem catching the air as you move, the viscose jersey draping with natural weight. The W5455 reads differently open and closed: two silhouettes, one closure.

The Art of Viscose Jersey

Viscose is a semi-synthetic fibre derived from cellulose — wood pulp that is chemically processed into a fibre that drapes with a fluid, natural quality similar to silk. Unlike cotton, viscose has a natural sheen and a more fluid drape; unlike synthetic fibres, viscose breathes and feels natural against the skin. In jersey form, viscose creates a fabric that is soft, breathable, and fluid — it moves with the body and falls with natural weight. The 6% elastane in the W5455 adds recovery and stretch without changing the hand or drape of the viscose jersey, ensuring the cardigan moves with the body and recovers after wear without distorting the asymmetric construction.

How to Wear It

• Closed, Diagonal Line: Close the shoulder button and front buttonhole — the diagonal closure creates a defined line across the fluid viscose jersey, the asymmetric hem visible below.
• Open, Fluid: Wear with closure open over a fitted base layer — the asymmetric viscose jersey panels fall freely, the fluid drape creating movement as you walk.
• Over a Bodysuit: Wear over a fitted black bodysuit — the viscose jersey cardigan as a fluid layer over the bodysuit, the diagonal closure defining the front.
• With High-Waisted Trousers: Wear with high-waisted wide-leg trousers — the asymmetric hem visible above the waistband, the diagonal closure creating a visual line from shoulder to front point.

Care Instructions

• Hand wash cold or machine wash on delicate cycle — the viscose content requires gentle handling to preserve the drape and sheen
• Do not tumble dry — lay flat or hang to dry to preserve the viscose jersey drape and asymmetric construction
• Iron on low heat on the reverse if needed — viscose responds well to light steaming
• Do not bleach — bleach will damage the viscose fibre and strip the natural sheen
• Store flat or hung
