The Petit Hélice sweater takes on the DNA of the Hélice model, but in a fitted cut that highlights the silhouette. Closer to the body, it can be worn for both city wear and casual style, while maintaining Baie des Caps' commitment to quality.
Knitted in a fine 12-gauge, it combines modernity and sobriety to become a staple of the male wardrobe.
Made from 50% cotton and 50% acrylic, the Petit Hélice retains the robustness and density characteristic of our marine sweaters, while offering the flexibility and lightness that make it comfortable to wear every day.
The result: an elegant look, a fluid drape, and a perfect fit over time.
