IGBO nigelle
The unisex heavy gauge crewneck sweater
Unisex, both in its details and silhouette, IGBO is robust and durable: its heavy gauge knitting gives it a beautiful density, a sweater that will last a lifetime. The detail of the needle reductions at the armhole provides comfort and flexibility. It's the perfect example of nostalgia, this sportswear jersey sweater reminds us of our campus years.
Knitted in Egyptian mako cotton ELS: this Giza cotton is the very essence of classic cotton, in an ultra-soft version, which can be worn in all seasons, on its own, because it doesn't need anything else to standout. The mako variety, from Upper Egypt, is a controlled appellation whose thread is extremely fine and silky.
Each colour of this knit is dyed by skeins directly onto the yarn before spinning, using vegetable pigments and natural agents for fixation, creating depth and uniqueness to the colours.
