Every Bernadette Antwerp knit at Coveti on 22 September 2026: 11 pieces, $890 to $1,720. The house knits in two registers. Pointelle, an openwork stitch in silk, wool and cashmere, for the Kira cardigans and the Katt sweater, cut close and pretty. And intarsia, the drawing knitted in, for the Kane and Amelia, cut oversized. Then the cashmere Kallas, which is a robe cut as a cardigan.

Pointelle: the close knits

The Kira cardigan is the house cardigan, a 70 percent silk, 20 percent wool, 10 percent cashmere pointelle with a button-down front, in three colourways. Two of them the house lists as true to size; the Kira Cardigan in Ruby Red Pointelle it says fits large, with a recommendation to size down for a more fitted line, which is the only size-down note in the collection. The Katt Sweater in Ruby Red Pointelle is the sweater in the same stitch, superfine wool, true to size, and it matches the Katia skirt. These are light knits for indoors and spring, not for a cold walk.

Intarsia: the drawing knitted in

The Kane Sweater in Mint Hydrangea Intarsia on Camel carries a single mint hydrangea head across a camel alpaca blend, with a relaxed V neck, and the Kane Sweater in Soft Pink Hydrangea Intarsia on Dark Grey the same idea in soft pink on dark grey. Both are cut oversized and the house says to take your usual size; they wear a size larger than the label. The Amelia cardigans knit berries into plum and pink and are designed, in the house’s words, for a shorter, cosy fit and slightly oversized. The Pull Sharon is the third intarsia-adjacent piece, a mohair blend with cherries embroidered on, oversized.

The cashmere Kallas

New this season and the most expensive knit: the Kallas Robe in Brown and Pink Gingham Knit, 100 percent cashmere in a brown and pink gingham, cut short in a kimono line with a tie belt and a knitted bouquet brooch at the lapel. The house calls it a robe and it fits true to size; wear it as a belted cardigan over the Camille skirt.

Care

Yarns from Italy, knitted in China, Bulgaria and Romania. Hand wash cool with a wool detergent, reshape while damp, dry flat and store folded so the shoulder keeps its line. The silk pointelle marks with water; blot rather than rub. Dry cleaning is the safest route for the intarsia and the embroidered Sharon.
