Samsoe Samsoe Sakeiku Sweater in Egret

The cream knit that makes everything else in your wardrobe look better. Useful talent.

The Samsøe Samsøe Sakeiku Sweater in Egret is exactly the sort of knitwear we love at BWD—clean, uncomplicated and quietly cool. No bells, no whistles, just a really good sweater in that perfect soft cream shade that works with practically everything.

Egret gives you all the freshness of white without feeling stark, making it particularly good with denim, grey, black and chocolate brown. It’s the knit you’ll pull out when you want to look polished but don’t particularly want to think about it.

Which, frankly, is most mornings.

Why it made the cut

• Egret is the perfect soft neutral and works beautifully across seasons.
• The clean Scandinavian simplicity means it won’t date.
• It’s an instant wardrobe refresher—particularly with denim you’ve owned for years.
• Easy enough for everyday, polished enough to wear somewhere considerably nicer.
• We don’t need complicated knitwear. We need really good knitwear we’ll actually wear. This qualifies.

How we’d wear it…

With relaxed blue denim, a black belt and loafers for an easy BWD uniform, or with dark grey tailored trousers and trainers for something more Scandinavian.

We’d also wear it with cream denim and a brown suede bomber for a soft tonal look, or simply throw it over your shoulders with a white shirt when it’s not quite cold enough to commit.

Very European. Very little effort.

Care

Treat good knitwear kindly. Follow the care label for the specific fabric composition, using a wool or delicate detergent where appropriate. Reshape gently after washing, dry flat and store folded rather than hanging to help maintain its shape.

Some clothes make a statement. Others make getting dressed considerably easier. We know which ones get worn more.
