ALMA bindweed
The heavy gauge v-neck cardigan
Alma is a slightly cropped cardigan with a beautiful density, which you'll also appreciate for its refined finishes: the needle reductions and bust darts, the contrast between the jersey body and its edges as well as the reversed tubular stitch on the collar, that add an artisanal feel to the. It shall remain a timeless piece in your wardrobe, solo as a v-neck, or layered.
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.
