Candelaria, made for lounging, was inspired by my Abuelita Cande, whose favorite thing was to sit on a comfy corner of the house with a good book and a warm cup of tea. It is a seamless top-down raglan cardigan, which allows for customization and its oversized shape is perfect for keeping warm and being comfortable.
