{"product_id":"mii-cardigan-01-cardigan-bella-off-white","title":"MII | Bella Cardigan - Hand-Embroidered Off-White","description":"\u003cp\u003eCardigan Bella opens with a quiet, considered gesture: a relaxed cardigan silhouette in off-white, given texture through hand embroidery worked directly onto a printed ground. The interplay between print and stitch is what defines the piece — a layered surface that reads as painterly up close and as a soft, tonal wash from a distance. It is the kind of detail that rewards a second look, the embroidery catching light differently depending on how the knit falls and moves.\n\nThe hand comes from superfine merino wool, chosen for its combination of lightness and warmth. Merino at this grade has a fine, almost powdery softness against the skin, with none of the itch associated with coarser wools, and it holds its shape well through wear. The off-white tone is not stark — it has a warmth to it that sits closer to bone or raw wool than to bright white, which lets the embroidery's colour and texture register clearly against the base.\n\nCut with an easy, unstructured fit, the cardigan is designed to layer rather than cling. The shoulders sit naturally, the body has room to move without bulk, and the overall proportion leans toward comfort without losing its shape. This is a piece built for the transitional dressing that defines the FW26 mood — substantial enough to wear alone over a shirt, light enough to fold into a bag for later in the day when temperatures shift. The construction favours a soft, unfussy finish over sharp tailoring, letting the hand embroidery and print carry the visual interest rather than seams or hardware.\n\nIn movement, the merino knit has a gentle drape — it skims rather than clings, falling with a slight weight at the hem that keeps the silhouette grounded. Worn open, it reveals the interior print and embroidery in fragments as the fabric shifts; buttoned or closed, it reads as a single cohesive surface. This dual character makes it as suited to a considered, put-together look as to a thrown-on, end-of-day layer.\n\nIts versatility lies in how it bridges casual and elevated dressing. Over tailored trousers and a fine knit top, it brings texture to a otherwise clean outfit. Over a slip dress, it softens the formality and adds warmth without weighing the look down. With denim, it becomes the piece that lifts an otherwise simple outfit into something considered — the embroidery doing the work that a printed motif or logo might do elsewhere, but with more depth and craft. Layer it under a longer wool coat for the coldest days, or wear it as the outermost piece on milder ones, letting the hand-worked surface stand as the outfit's focal point.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MII","offers":[{"title":"OFF WHITE \/ S","offer_id":41828610539653,"sku":"384 01 CARDIGAN BELLA","price":4490.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"OFF WHITE \/ M","offer_id":41828610572421,"sku":"384 01 CARDIGAN BELLA","price":4490.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0351\/5757\/3765\/files\/Screenshot_2026-09-01_at_10.38.52_AM_copy.JPG?v=1788301388","url":"https:\/\/ruemadame.com\/products\/mii-cardigan-01-cardigan-bella-off-white","provider":"RUE MADAME | BOUTIQUE PARISIENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
