Puppet Quarter Zip Sweater
Story
A vintage-inspired quarter-zip sweater that tells a story with every stitch
Legends about mermaids, 19th-century artwork, French playing cards, deli counters—each of these are a source of inspiration for Samuel Zelig founders, Dylan Lubell and Jonathan Levite. Storytellers at heart, they designed their Puppet Quarter Zip Sweater using original embroidered artwork and screen prints that nod to vintage Victorian instructional books on shadow puppet making. Rounded out with throwback details like long cuffs and hem ribbing, this retro sweater is a wearable canvas that’s truly one-of-a-kind.
