Prada Wool Alpaca Cardigan Structured V Knit Italy Size 42 IT
OVERVIEW
Authentic Prada cardigan crafted in Italy from a premium wool and alpaca blend.
This piece represents Prada’s minimalist tailoring philosophy—clean structure, refined knit density, and quiet luxury construction.

The silhouette is slightly structured with a controlled waist taper, offering a refined, feminine profile rather than a relaxed drape.

BRAND POSITION
Prada knitwear stands within the upper luxury segment due to precision Italian construction and refined fiber blends.
Unlike mass-market alpaca blends, Prada uses balanced compositions that maintain shape retention while preserving softness and thermal efficiency.

The clean typography label and RN 98339 confirmation support authentic Italian production.
