Maison Margiela Four-Stitch Silk Elbow Patch Cardigan Fine Knit Sweater Size SOverview
Authentic Maison Margiela women’s cardigan in size S, crafted in Italy with a refined fine-gauge knit and the brand’s iconic four-stitch signature at the back of the neck. Minimal, clean, and easy to style—this is a timeless Margiela staple with subtle detail rather than loud branding.

Design Details

Fine-gauge knit body with clean finishing

Button-front closure with minimalist placket

Signature four-stitch detail at the back neck

Smooth elbow patch panels (satin-like finish)

Ribbed cuffs and hem for structure

Made in Italy

Label notes a knit + fabric composition: wool knit with a separate fabric component listed as 50% silk / 50% cotton (commonly used for patch/panel detailing)

Why It Stands Out
Maison Margiela is defined by quiet, intellectual design codes—especially the four stitches, which collectors immediately recognize. The elbow patch construction adds a subtle textural contrast and gives the piece a more elevated, considered finish than standard basics.

Condition
Very good pre-owned condition overall. No holes, no structural damage.
Important note (disclosed): one of the back-neck stitches (part of the four-stitch signature) was almost coming out. It was carefully placed back into position, but it may not look 100% perfectly symmetrical on close inspection.

Fit Notes
Tagged Women’s size S. Fit is best judged by the flat measurements below.
Fit Reference from Tag (Body Code): The inner tag shows “160/84A”, which is a body reference commonly used on Japanese/Asian labels. It typically indicates an intended fit around 160 cm height with an approximate 84 cm bust, with “A” referring to a standard/slim body type. Please still rely on the flat measurements provided for the most accurate fit confirmation.

Material
Per tag: wool knit, plus a separate fabric component listed as 50% silk / 50% cotton (consistent with patch/panel detailing).
Natural luxury fibers like wool and silk carry a higher bio-frequency, offering better comfort, temperature regulation, breathability, and a more refined feel on the body.
