Our story

Knit by hand in Dalyasan — a village tucked between the mountains of Türkiye. The wool is gathered from sheep and goats raised on those same mountains, processed locally. Each cardigan carries the work of the women in our association. Read the full story of this piece →

Size Guide

Measurements below are of the finished cardigan, not your body. For a relaxed fit, your chest should be 4–6 inches smaller than the listed chest.

How to measure a cardigan — chest, length and sleeve

Lay the cardigan flat and measure along the arrows. Chest is the full way around — measure straight across under the arms, then double it. Full size guide →

My cardigan is gorgeous, thick, and warm! It runs large; I ordered XS for my French size 36/38 and it's perfect, although I don't look anything like Marilyn Monroe!!! Thank you to the Dally Village Association!

Bought for Grandmothers birthday, she mentioned she had been dreaming of finding something like “Marilyn’s beach cardigan” since she first saw the pictures in the 60s. Of course I had to fulfill that dream and surprised her, safe to say she is absolutely over the moon with it. I also tried it on it’s super soft and warm too. Would recommend!!
ps. she would kill me if she knew I took this pic!

Omg! If you don’t like people commenting about how cute you look, then this isn’t for you 😝. It’s a heavy weight sweater and made well. I love it 🥰

Beautiful cardigan, ordered on Sunday 24/08 and already arrived on Thursday 28/08……..with scented bag and personal note 👍
Thank you for the beautiful work, it will become one of my favorite pieces. Since I don't like wearing revealing clothes, I ordered a L. I'm 168 cm tall, weigh 68 kg, and am 71 years old.

The women of the Daly Village Women's Solidarity Association really are wonderful. I made an order and then had a custom request and in no time at all not only did they meet my request, but the cardigan still arrived from Turkey to the US early in the expected delivery window. I simply wouldn't have expected that, at all. Thank you, all. Supporting local business with local raw materials is really something special. And the cardigan is great, too.

I absolutely love this cardigan! It is high-quality, comfortably-sized, closely Marilyn-inspired, and completely met my expectations. I even received a personal note and fresheners. It was well worth the wait and I would order from the shop again!
