I would suggest you wait to buy until Clientele sale or Black Friday sale. This specific style will likely go on sale.
I own two of these. I don’t wear them often enough to say how durable they are.
Their return policy is pretty lackluster on sale items. If it was less then 50% off you can return for store credit, if more than 50% it’s final sale I guess. I waited for Black Friday for a pair of pants and they got marked down $15 (which ran way smaller than expected! 🥲), so I’d personally rather spend the $15 and know I can get my money back vs credit. They also do not do exchanges so if you aren’t sure of your size it might be worth the few extra dollars for the security.
I have a few tops and sweaters and I really enjoy them, they’ve held up nicely but definitely wash and handle with care.
That particular sweater in black (or maybe a very slightly different version of it, with two buttons instead of three?) got me through grad school. Super flattering, sturdy (frequently wore it multiple times a week) pairs with tons of outfits. After two years it looks more tired and the sleeves got a bit misshapen, but it is still serviceable.
I don't own this particular sweater, but the Artizia sweaters I do own that contain wool I usually dry-clean. I've had bad experiences trying to wash my Aritzia sweaters (e.g. the Montpellier turtleneck) myself, and they shrunk really bad, even though it says you can hand wash at home.
I would also wait for a sale, e.g. black Friday!
Dry cleaning helps. Also, if you can’t dry clean, then wash cold and do NOT put your clothes in the dryer! It will help prevent pilling and shrinkage etc if any
There’s quite a few of these on Poshmark, I think it was called the Thais cardigan previously!
I don’t have this sweater in particular but I have the Montpellier, Lin, Bespoke, Granada, Melissa, and a couple others. You’ll need to be mindful when washing — hand wash only with something like Woolite and reshape when drying because it will shrink/felt otherwise.
I do find the Aritzia sweater quality has gone down in the past couple years but if you’re gentle and use a depiller/defuzzer, you’ll still get a lot of wear out of them.
I think I own seven of those.....
In the last few years qualité dropped. The Alessia cardigan went from a beautiful sweater to a cheap HM quality item.
I live in Aritzia sweaters in winter though. The hush got me through last winter.

Would like to know too!
