BAKEL fonio
The crewneck sweater with balloon sleeves
All its charm lies in the haute couture effect of the puff sleeve. The higher ribbing at the bottom gives it the nostalgic elegance of the 40s. It becomes the creative touch to your outfit and adapts to several silhouettes: just as lovely with a skirt as with trousers. We love the "handmade" effect that is noticeable in the changes of textures and in the reductions of stitches in pointelle knit.
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.
