The Cuban Trogon Gilet
Meet the Cuban Trogon Gilet. A sleeveless reinterpretation of our iconic Cuban Trogon Cardigan. Designed for layering and for lovers of bold colour, this sleeveless version blends Cuban heritage, geometric artistry and everyday practicality.
Hand-knitted in Peru using traditional intarsia techniques, the design plays with the vibrant colours of the Cuban Trogon: deep green, sky blue, cream, and rich red. The geometric shapes, squares, diamonds, and directional blocks, bring rhythm, movement and Caribbean warmth to the piece.
The sleeveless shape gives it a modern, effortless feel: perfect over jackets, shirts, tees or knitwear. The boxy silhouette and wide armholes allow room for layering without bulk, while the two-tone ribbing at the hem and neckline adds a signature Lessons London touch.
Finished by hand in London using traditional English pewter buttons, each gilet holds subtle variations and its own personality, A true modern heirloom, made slowly and designed to last.
