Before Needles, there was Nepenthes - a Japanese distribution company focusing on US-made apparel - where founder Keizo Shimizu would utilise his “sense of smell” to sniff out the best Americana fashion during his trips. Ultimately, they became the influence for Shimizu’s 1997 label Needles - where traditional style meets quality Japanese tailoring. This cardigan is no exception, with its soft mohair fabrication and intricate floral design making it a timeless addition to your wardrobe.
