Pierpont
Designed by Melissa Leapman
This splendid sweater is perfect for springtime. It features feminine details including an all-over lace motif throughout the body. Bishop sleeves and a slight gather at the shoulders add a touch of romance. The airy lace motifs perfectly compliment Ravello – a gorgeous blend of cotton, merino wool, and cashmere.
