BANISTER BOLD is the woolly version of the Banister t-shirt design – a warm, fluffy hug for the colder season, featuring a relaxed fit that gives you freedom to move.
The inspiration for this design goes all the way back to my childhood. Every detail is drawn from the staircase of the mid-century apartment building where I grew up. The textured hem and cuffs reflect the structure of the banister, while the zigzag raglan lines echo the shape of the stairs.
A gently scooped neckline makes this sweater easy to wear. The shaped body creates a flattering silhouette – relaxed through the chest and more tailored at the waist.
