Introduce a little romantic elegance with these cuffs knitted in the delicate decadence of a cashmere, possum, and silk blend yarn. Petite seed stitch ruffles fan over the wrists and extend upwards along the side. A cable band provides a structured contrast to the flowing ruffles and 3x3 rib delivers a reliable, comfortable fit. Personalize with paua, pearl or jet buttons for an exquisite look that's buttoned up but never stuffy. The perfect accessory to make an ordinary blouse, jacket, sweater or dress extraordinary!
