The Wool Cardigan

100% recycled wool. Chunky, compact full milano knit with soft-shaped raglan shoulders and a relaxed fit. Milled in Italy, knitted in Romania.

Sand Melange

Our take on the classic cardigan, made from 100% recycled wool, milled in Italy: A laidback silhouette, framed by a subtly accentuated rib-knitted placket with tonal corozo buttons and two pockets for the perfect balance.

    How to take care of wool

    Most of us have probably ruined a sweater or two in our garment care career and caring for wool has a bad rep for being a hassle. We respectfully disagree. Wool care is misunderstood. In general, wool garments require much less care, the garment practically takes care of itself because of the inherent qualities of wool. Sure, if you do need to wash the whole piece, it needs some extra attention, but that’s exactly what we’ll guide you through in this section - there’s nothing to fear.
