What are the Emergency Cardigans made from?

Our Emergency Cardigans are made from a super lightweight polyester and elastane blend designed to be soft, stretchy and easy to fold into the handbag-sized Cardicase™.

How do I wash my Emergency Cardigan?

All cardigans are machine washable. Use a cold cycle to keep the fabric looking fresh.

What is the Cardicase™ made from?

The Cardicase™ is made from a durable polyester blend. It is lightweight yet tough to protect your cardigan and keep it clean and dry in your bag.

How do I clean my Cardicase™?

Wipe the Cardicase™ with a damp cloth. We recommend keeping it out of the washing machine.

Can I order a cardigan in another colour?

We are expanding our colour range. All cardigans currently come with the standard black Cardicase™. Follow @cardicoofficial for new releases.

What size should I order?

Cardigans are designed to be cropped and slim-fitting so they remain compact in your handbag. If you are between sizes or prefer a looser fit, size up. If it does not fit, we are happy to arrange an exchange.

How warm is the Emergency Cardigan?

It is a lightweight layering piece for summer evenings, air-conditioned offices and travel. It adds coverage and comfort but is not a substitute for a heavy winter coat.

Do you ship to the United States?

Yes, we ship internationally including to the United States. Prices are Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU), so U.S. customers may need to pay additional taxes or customs fees on delivery.

Small, convenient and lightweight

This cropped emergency cardigan does exactly what it’s meant to do- It packs up TINY and is so easy to throw into a handbag. Will be great as a summer cardigan for breezy nights for extra coverage when wearing a sleeveless top or dress.

Love my CardiGo!

I purchased two CardiGos, one for my sister and one for myself. It’s Autumn in Vancouver and having the CardiGo in my bag has been perfect for those unexpected chilly and windy nights. Also, I get compliments from other women every time I wear it!

Life changing!

Love this cardigan - it’s elegant and so easy to keep with me at all times. I was a bit nervous that the style might not work for my frame but the material is flexible without feeling too tight around my shoulders. Highly recommend and have already gifted one to my colleague. Goodbye office chills!

So handy

Purchased a Cardi two weeks ago and already getting my money’s worth, had a Christmas party on the weekend and it fit perfectly in my clutch! Got the cardi out later on in the night and got compliments on how nicely it went with my (formal) dress. Love it!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Emergency Cardigan made of?

Our cardigan is crafted from a buttery-soft, and wrinkle-resistant fabric blend. This material is what allows it to be so lightweight and compact, while still providing a comfortable and warm layer when you need it.

How compact is it? Will it really fit in my handbag?

Yes! The Emergency Cardigan folds neatly into its own small, protective Cardicase™. It's designed to be about the size of a wallet or sunglasses case making it perfect for even the most compact of handbags, a glove box, or an office drawer.

Is this just for "emergencies," or can I wear it as a regular cardigan?

The name is a nod to its portability, but CardiGo's Emergency Cardigan is designed with a timeless, versatile style. It's perfect for everyday wear, whether you're dressing up for a business meeting, pulling it out at at the end of the night at a wedding, or keeping it casual for a weekend outing. It's your stylish solution for both planned and unplanned moments.

How do I care for my Emergency Cardigan?

The wrinkle-resistant fabric makes it very low-maintenance. We recommend machine washing on a gentle cycle with cold water and laying it flat to dry. Do not iron.

What if I don't love it? Do you have a return policy?

We're confident you'll love the convenience and style of the Emergency Cardigan. However, if for any reason you aren't satisfied, we offer a money back guarantee. Simply contact us for a full refund - no questions asked. Please note this excludes items purchased on sale.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes! We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not happy with your results, contact us for a refund.

Great for

Great for travelling

Worth Every Dollar !

The colour goes with everything and it’s perfect to throw in my bag for when it randomly gets cold. I’ve already used it a bunch of times. Super practical and easy to wear!!

I absolutely love my Cardigo

I absolutely love my Cardigo. It fits perfectly inside my small handbag and I take it everywhere I go. My Cardigo has saved me so many times from leaving somewhere early because it was cold inside or a cold breeze came through. It feels so luxe for something so small, and I’ve washed it several times and still looks brand new. Every handbag needs a Cardigo in it!

Love it fits perfect

Love it

Read other reviews and they were right, size up. I even went two sizes up and it fits really comfortably. Would love if they made them UPF50+, that would be a game changer. And hope to see more colours and different cuts.
