Winter Wish Cottage Cardigan

$148.00

Crafted from cozy printed cotton & spandex and lined with super soft poly-fleece, our Cottage Jackets combine the warmth and comfort of a cardigan with the style, versatility, and look of our stardusters. They are washable, and include patch pockets. After many months of development, we're so excited to welcome this special new piece to our collection for cooler days!

We created this Limited Edition nostalgic, vintage print to celebrate the magic of the holidays, and the tradition of welcoming light and joy in the dark of winter. Featuring Victorian-era images from holiday greeting cards — including reindeer in the snow, a perfect little fir tree, golden stars, and traditional plaid trim — it’s charmingly festive without being over-the-top! This design is delightful for lounging and entertaining throughout the holiday season, but we’ll also be layering it up with cozy knits and boots for everyday wear. It’s a wonderful life ;)

Cotton/spandex blend outer, lined in poly fleece. Machine wash gentle or handwash, gently reshape and lay flat to dry.

Cardigan measurements: length approximately 65cm, width (across back, underarm to underarm) approximately 74cm. Model is 5’7” for reference.

For almost 200 years, the tradition of sending greeting cards for the holidays has been part of the way we celebrate the season with our loved ones near and far. Handmade Christmas cards were popularized during the Victorian era in the the mid-1800’s, with the very first card being commercially printed on a printing press in 1843 (the very same year Charles Dickens published “A Christmas Carol”). That card — of which around a thousand copies were printed — was a hand-coloured lithograph that sold for one shilling. (Very few copies remain, and if you could find one today, it would be worth several thousand dollars!) By the 1880’s, holiday cards had become a popular and beloved tradition, and cards of all kinds were being printed, sent, and treasured. We absolutely adore the vintage, hand-coloured lithograph cards from this era — several of which we used to create our Winter Wish design.

Whether you still send traditional cards at the holidays, or send emails & texts instead, letting the people we most care about in our lives know that we’re thinking of them is one of the most wonderful things we can do to celebrate the season. If you’re reading this and there’s someone in your life you haven’t reached out to in a while, go ahead and let them know how important they are to you! Wishing you much joy, love, abundance, and good cheer this holiday season from all of us at Market of Stars :) xoxo

The Poem

On the Eve

Tonight the woods are white
as dresses, trees kneeling
in their skirts. The deer
have left their pockets to watch
the world be crowned again
in sequins of snow. Inside the house

we have slipped off
our good shoes
and wear the firelight
like fineness, faces haloed,
aglow with supper

and wine. The glasses
we raised now washed
and put to bed, the sound
of their merry clink fading
like far off bells. The gifts

are given. Our windows frost
like a filling hourglass,
while you and I nestle
between what was
and what will be. The children
inside us are put to bed, tucked in
to the folds of our robes
and dreaming. Their wishes

rise up the chimney
before drifting back down
to rest like jewels
at the hem
of the woods.
