Our best seller for a reason. The Mondragon is a loosely fitted, open-front cardigan with batwing sleeves and rib-knit cuffs. This piece goes with everything and makes any outfit better. Each colorway is made with a different handwoven fabric from Latin America, which is why prices vary. The fabric behind each one comes from a different artisan community, with its own story and process. Cozy, colorful, and genuinely hard to take off.

Note: We have limited fabric availability for this design due to its popularity.
This piece is available in multiple fabrics, each handcrafted by a different artisan community across Latin America.
