The Merz B. Schwanen Good Basics Cardigan in Burgundy is good, but far from basic. The revered German label’s Good Basics line has felt like a bit of a secret the last few years, but now the secret’s out — these are some high-quality goods for more accessible prices than what you might expect. This line has all the high standards and well-considered designs you know and love from Merz, made in the burgeoning garment industry mecca, Portugal.
The Cardigan looks to be a perfectly chunky knit textured layer to wear on its own or under your favorite piece of contrasting outerwear. It’s made from a 90/10 blend of merino/cashmere and comes in a regular fit with dual patch pockets. Again — basic, but good. Really good. So don’t get any gravy over this at the festive dinner.
Each cardigan is knitted inPortugal and comes with a reinforced collar, corozo fisheye buttons on the front placket, and a branded Merz B. Schwanen Good Basics tag.
Available for $295 from Franklin and Poe.
