I didn’t own a cashmere polo and I had never really seen something like that before, so I created one. I love matching sets, so I designed a super-soft knit crewneck and pants set that is perfect for day-to-day wear, travel, or even a night out.” She adds that the Mercer Dress and matching Top are an evolution of the brand’s best selling asymmetrical styles.
