Álainn Lambswool Racked Vest

Named after the Irish word Álainn, meaning beautiful, this contemporary knitted vest celebrates the quiet confidence found in simplicity. Designed to become an effortless wardrobe staple, it balances sculptural knit textures with a relaxed silhouette that layers beautifully throughout the seasons.

Developed as part of the RAESIDE collection, the Álainn Vest explores the relationship between traditional knit structures and contemporary design. Its distinctive racked and ribbed construction creates natural movement and subtle architectural lines, offering texture without unnecessary embellishment.

Knitted from exceptionally soft 100% Superfine Lambswool by Todd & Duncan, the vest is lightweight yet warm, naturally breathable and wonderfully soft against the skin. Designed to be worn throughout the year, it layers effortlessly over shirts, dresses and fine knitwear or simply with your favourite pair of jeans.

Timeless rather than seasonal, the Álainn Vest reflects RAESIDE's commitment to creating garments that become lasting favourites—pieces chosen not because they follow trends, but because they are beautifully made and endlessly wearable.
