Renowned for its vibrant artist scene in the 1950s and 60s and beyond, Chelsea, a neighborhood in New York City, served as a dynamic hub for Abstract Expressionists, Pop Artists, and musicians. It’s a treasure trove of iconic landmarks that define the heart of New York’s legendary art scene.
The same vibe as our “Chelsea Morning” Sweater, now in a cardigan.
The “Chelsea” Cardigan - pairs well with denim and coffee.
