Prada Women Double Breasted Heavy Knit Long Cardigan Coat 100% Virgin Wool IT 44
OVERVIEW
Authentic Prada women’s double-breasted heavy knit long cardigan coat, crafted from 100% virgin wool in a rich deep navy blue tone. This is a substantial luxury knitwear piece featuring structured panel engineering, a large foldover shawl collar, and double-breasted button closure. Produced around 2011, this garment reflects Prada’s high-level knit construction period, combining durability, structure, and timeless minimalist styling.

The knit is dense and architectural, designed to hold its shape while providing warmth, making it ideal as a sweater coat or coatigan for colder seasons.

DESIGN & STRUCTURE
This Prada knit coatigan features a carefully engineered knit layout, not a basic cardigan construction.

The front body includes a dense textured central knit panel, bordered by directional knit channels that shape the silhouette. The back features a chevron-style structural knit formation, enhancing both visual structure and body alignment.

The garment is finished with a large foldover shawl collar, adding warmth and volume around the neckline while maintaining elegant proportions.

Closure is achieved via a double-breasted six-button front, creating layered front structure similar to a coat.

Integrated large patch pockets are knitted directly into the body structure rather than added afterward, reinforcing durability and preserving visual consistency.
