Bougainville in English

Bougainville is a lightweight, cropped or short V-neck cardigan for warmer months, perfect to throw on your favorite tops or dresses or to style with high-waist bottoms. The neck opening is slightly wider than classic cardigans to wear with your boat-neck striped tees.
The body can be cropped or short, the sleeves 3/4 or long, and the sizes are graded with a small difference in between, to offer you choice in terms of ease and style 🙂
