Book Cardigan Sweater Gift for Book Lover Readers, Button Up Knit Sweater Dark Academia Library Aesthetic Black and White
$74.99 $99.99
A black and white bookshelf knit cardigan, with rows of library books knit directly into a soft, mid-weight 55% cotton button-up by a WRAP and Elevate certified knitting partner, made to order, so the design is structural fabric rather than surface print and will never crack, peel, or fade. Plus sizes available!
What makes this different from a printed sweatshirt:
This isn't a sweatshirt with a graphic pressed onto it, and it isn't acrylic. The bookshelf design is knit into the cardigan the same way the rib is knit into the cuffs. It's built in, not applied. That's why it holds up the same after 50 washes as it does the day it arrives. It costs a little more to make, which is why it costs a little more to buy. But it's the kind of piece people actually hold onto.
