Once, Coco Chanel was strolling along the beach with her companion Boy Capel when she borrowed a pullover from him. However, she found it inconvenient to wear, so she took a pair of scissors and cut the pullover at the front. Some versions suggest that this is how the cardigan came into existence. However, the truth is that the cardigan was actually invented long before Coco Chanel became famous, specifically in the early 9th century. English sailors used a lengthy knitted sweater as a lining beneath their waterproof raincoats. A thousand years later, during the Crimean War, the troops of the Earl of Cardigan began using a similar sweater. It was during this time that the new garment acquired its name. Only a century later, Coco Chanel fearlessly introduced the cardigan into the world of fashion.
