The Lotus Cardigan - Italian LambswoolTHE INSPIRATION The lotus is a symbol of spiritual enlightenment and self regeneration because its flower closes and retreats under water at night and then ascends to reopen above the water at dawn. Our Lotus Cardigan, the symbol of luxurious spiritual coziness, is just as beautiful to wear closed across your heart, for when you feel like curling up inside, as it is left open and drapey for you to elegantly rise and greet the many dawns of your day.
