Poppy + Monarch
Chronically Chilly™ Cardigan
Elevated elegance with a wink. This luxe corduroy cardigan lays soft, drapes beautifully, and speaks fluently. “Chronically Chilly” is embroidered across the left V-neckline in an elegant script — subtle enough for everyday, bold enough to start a conversation. Turn around and the same script delivers the truth: “Never Not Cold.” It’s glamour for the chronically chill: polished, cozy, and unapologetically fly. Available in two classic colorways: Black with black buttons and white lettering and White with white buttons and black lettering.

Care Instructions
What does “chronically chill” mean?
“Chronically chill” is a play on the term “chronically ill.” We use it in a playful and sometimes ironic manner to describe someone who has a chronic illness but maintains a relaxed or positive attitude despite their health challenges. It’s a way of reclaiming the term “chronically ill” and adding a positive spin to it. It also describes a lifestyle — a commitment to relaxation, mindfulness, or self-care.
What does “spoonie” mean?
“Spoonie” is a term derived from “The Spoon Theory” by Christine Miserandino, which is a metaphor used to explain the reduced amount of energy available for activities of daily living and productive tasks in individuals with chronic illness or disabilities. Our enamel pins are designed to resonate with and celebrate the strength and resilience of those who identify as spoonies.
How are your pins made?
Our enamel pins are crafted with high-quality metal and filled with vibrant enamel colors. Each pin undergoes a meticulous quality check to ensure it meets our standards before being shipped out.
How long does processing and shipping take?
Please keep in mind that Poppy + Monarch is run by a solopreneur who fills all the roles that come with operating the business, from designing pins to processing and shipping out orders. Standard shipping typically takes 5-7 business days within the United States. International orders may take up to 14-21 business days, depending on the destination.
How do I care for my enamel pin?
To keep your pin looking its best, avoid exposing it to water or harsh chemicals. If it gets dirty, gently wipe it with a soft cloth.
What is your return policy?
All sales are final. Exceptions are made for merchandise that arrives damaged. If that occurs, please contact us at info@poppyandmonarch.com at your earliest convenience so that we can assist you.
