Eleventy Paillette Hand Knit Cotton & Linen Blend Pointelle Sweater

Product Insights & Style Tips

The Eleventy Paillette Hand Knit Cotton & Linen Blend Pointelle Sweater is unapologetically tactile, marrying a coastal, sun-drenched spirit with unstudied Italian luxury. Each stitch is chunky yet intentional, rendered from a substantial cotton-linen blend that feels textural and earthy against the skin—think vintage market meets Riviera terrace. What sets this knit apart is the scattering of shell-like paillettes, catching light as you move and lending a barely-there glimmer that nods to the ocean’s edge. The pointelle details create subtle peeks of skin, balancing the sweater’s weight with a sense of airy openness that teeters between rugged and ethereal.

The fit is generous without drowning the silhouette, allowing relaxed ease while still framing the body through its tailored, ribbed crewneck and tapering at the cuffs and hem. It wears easily solo, the light-reflecting paillettes bringing enough statement for after-dark settings, but it also layers beautifully over crisp shirting or a silk slip, shifting the vibe from laid-back to quietly glamourous in seconds. The openwork pattern breathes, making it a true multi-season piece—just heavy enough for breezy evenings, yet open enough to carry you through warmer days. On runways and in street style, handworked knits have signaled a return to tactile luxury, and Eleventy’s Italian pedigree and use of natural fibers take this one to the next level. Style it with wide-leg trousers or over a bias-cut skirt and lean into that relaxed, quietly opulent mood.
