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.

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 polyester and elastane 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™ pouch. It's designed to be about the size of a wallet or a 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 the Emergency Cardigan is designed with a timeless, versatile style. It's perfect for everyday wear, whether you're dressing up for a business meeting 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?

Simply contact us for a full refund—no questions asked. Please note this excludes items purchased on sale, mini water bottles, pocket perfumes and handbag organisation bundles.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes! We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee on our cardigans.. If you’re not happy with your cardi, please contact us for a refund. Please note that mini water bottles, pocket perfumes, and handbag organisation bundles cannot be accepted for returns for hygiene reasons.

Convenient

Love how small it folds up into, can so easily throw this in my bag. Great as a backup in summer in case of a chilly evening or when places have too much aircon. Definitely size up! I am 168 cm, 61 kg, size 10ish. Originally ordered a medium and exchanged for XL. The XL is a good fit, but I could want go even larger for a loose fit.

Black Cardigo

I love the cardi and it will definitely be on regularly but I will probably order again and go for the XL to just have a little more room 😁

Great Travel addition.

We travel a lot and I was very excited when my friend put me on to Cardigo. I placed my order and I'm happy to say I love the cardigan. I'm normally a size 10-12 and I ordered the L. It fits perfectly. I normally travel with a large scarf in case I get cold but eating with a scarf wrapped around you is never the optimal experience so the cardigan will be perfect for me.

Great idea

Such a great idea! The fabric is super soft, though I do wish it was made from natural fibres as it’s not very breathable. Advice is to size up. Im normally a size AU12 and bought an XL. It’s perfectly fitted, and a great fit.
