YARNS
100% Merino Wool from Ireland
Certified Woolmark & Genuine Donegal

→ Our favorite yarns come from a family run spinnery, the only one surviving to make
the real Donegal yarns. I love the way how the speckles make the colours more rich and not flat.

 

BRAND LABEL
100% ecological cotton from Bulgaria
certified OEKO-Tex Organic Cotton
Machine Knitted

→ I wanted a knitted label to go with a knitted sweater, woven labels tear the knit apart,
it doesn’t move along with the flexibility of the knitted garment.

 

COMPOSITION LABEL
100% unbleached cotton from Bulgaria
Printed on woven textile

→ I wanted a composition label that was easy to remove, because they always annoy
me while wearing a garment. Therefor it’s only stitched with 2 stitches. We draw the sizes on
by hand, to save material for all different sizes available.

 

HANG TAG
100% FSC Paper
Made in the Netherlands
Printed on paper
certified OEKO-Tex Sustainable producer

→ I wanted a hang tag that could be used after use, not just something you throw
out after purchase, so came up with the idea of a bag where you could put some lavender in.
If placed in the Box with your favorite knitwear, it will keep the moths out.

 

BOX 
100% FSC Paper
Made the Netherlands
Hand Finished

→ I wanted a box to keep your sweater in after purchase. The box had to be a jewel
itself, not just a case to transport it home and throw away. The shape is inspired by a
chocolate box, the inside is inspired by vintage Oberkampf&Cie wallpaper and contains
all the sweaters of the very first collection. There is also a hidden Waldo…can you find him?
