Short for "pullover" , which literally means "to pull over", the sweater, as everyone knows, refers to a relatively thick piece of clothing with sleeves that is put on over the head. A precious ally when winter sets in, the weather gets rough and the mercury drops. At your service, we have imagined a capital and meticulous range, worked in prestigious materials that are entirely natural or recycled. To discover this warm selection and meet your future acolytes, follow the guide.
All cuts are allowed
Our sweaters may be put on over the head, but they do not all have the same face. So that everyone can find “the right shoe” according to their tastes and needs, we have taken care to develop a rich and complete range . Great classics and more confidential designs, here are the models developed for you:
The indescribable round collar. Neither too low-cut nor too close to the neck, we have taken care of the proportions of the most famous of collars to give you a timeless and refined interpretation.
“The irreverent” raglan sleeve. In addition to its sophisticated design, the raglan shoulder offers incomparable comfort and freedom of movement by going up to the neckline. Visually, the shoulders are fluid and exude relaxation.
The essential turtleneck. To keep your throat warm and protected from gusts of wind, we don't know anything more effective or more elegant than this variation.
The clever polo collar. Combining the warmth of a sweater and the elegance of a long-sleeved polo shirt is what we have managed to do with this original and promising casual chic model.
The essential sweatshirt. Technically, this sacred monster of the sportswear register is indeed a sweater, which is why we allow ourselves to mention it in this guide. With jeans , chinos or even pleated pants , Monsieur will be like a fish in water.
In terms of the cut, our sweaters are rather fitted at the waist to avoid drafts. That said, you will have enough room to slip a t-shirt or shirt underneath if you feel like it. Finally, you will find ribbing at the bottom of the piece and at the end of the sleeve to finish the ends neatly and provide support and insulation. Mission accomplished.
Knits for all
Unlike most shirts and pants, assembled from fabrics, sweaters are overwhelmingly knitted. If you don't like the anglicism "pull", you can also prefer its most faithful French translation: knitting. Among our high-end knits , you will only have to choose those that you like the most between the thick, the fine, the extra-fine, the cabled or the English ribs. Thick or smooth, generous or discreet, textured or sober, there is food for thought for all styles and for all seasons. For almost all sizes, too, since our sweaters are available in all sizes from XS to XL.
Noble and natural materials
Nothing looks more like a sweater than another sweater, right? A knitted body, two sleeves, an opening for putting it on and that's it. Without compromising on these invariants, we decided to pamper a detail on which it was still possible to stand out: the material . So that our sweaters are unlike any other, here are the ones we have selected to keep you warm without uncovering a thread:
Wool, of course. A warm, insulating and thermoregulating natural material, wool is irreplaceable when it comes to dressing between September and May. Ours is spun in Italy and will accompany you from the first chills to the heart of winter. Other advantages? It dries quickly, washes easily, wicks away odors and does not lose its shape. Just that.
Merino wool. This is a type of wool from a breed of sheep whose name you may have guessed: merino. To the countless virtues of classic wool, it adds an incomparable softness and a slightly silkier appearance thanks to smaller diameter fibers. This is all the more true for our extra fine merino wool sweaters whose tenderness and preciousness will seduce lovers of classic elegance.
Recycled wool. As you might expect, wool is a 100% recyclable material . To convince you, we used recycled wool spun in Italy to create new sweaters to discover in our range. PS 1: Making something new from something old has never looked so good. PS 2: Most sweaters on the market today contain synthetic materials, which we encourage you to check by reading the labels to buy with confidence and awareness.
The organic cotton/hemp alloy. On our sweatshirt, we offer you a clever blend of hemp and organic cotton. A responsible fleece that is as sturdy as it is original to bring a little relaxation to the "sweater" section of your closet.
A word about the making
Our credo? Dress your daily life with exceptional clothing made in Europe in natural and/or recycled materials. After presenting our wools, cotton and hemp, the time has come to discuss the manufacturing. It's very simple here, all our sweaters are made in Portugal in a family workshop that we trust completely. A small but not insignificant bonus, its artisans master the "fully-fashioned" assembly which consists of individually knitting the different parts of the sweater (bust, sleeves, etc.) before assembling them to deliver the finished product. In addition to being a serious guarantee of quality, it is a technique that avoids waste since there is no waste of material . Needless to say, we have favored this method for our entire range of sweaters.
You're going to see all the colors
As you know, the sweater is a valuable ally for a dozen months a year. From endless winter days to mild summer nights, through March showers and other Indian summers, it always finds a good reason to slip on our shoulders - to our great pleasure. In these conditions, our challenge was to decline a range of colors rich enough to deal with all these eventualities. From solid colors to more mottled versions, from the calmest shades to the most intense tones, you will discover shades to take everywhere from January to January. A beautiful rust to brighten up the cold season, a chestnut brown to temper a July evening, a mottled ochre to match the autumnal glow: place your bets and dazzle your eyes .
1,001 ways to wear a sweater
If there is only one way to put them on - over the head, therefore - there are 1,001 ways to wear our sweaters . On the skin or over a shirt, between a t-shirt and a work jacket, in the middle of a suit or paired with a blazer, with jeans or chinos, all combos are winning with these knits.
Maintenance, easy as pie
Taking care of your sweater is both doing yourself a favor and extending its life expectancy. Needless to say, this is a step that should not be taken lightly. To pamper it properly, we offer you some recommendations below:
If you opt for one of our 100% wool sweaters , you should know that this material has the particularity of being "self-cleaning". It quickly eliminates odors and prevents the proliferation of bacteria, which makes frequent washing unnecessary. Conversely, simply airing it in the open air between each wear will allow your knitwear to regain all its freshness. Obviously, nothing prevents a more thorough cleaning from time to time (3, 4 or 5 times a year depending on your use). To do this, you can opt for a hand wash or a machine wash on the wool program, if possible with a special organic detergent for delicate laundry. As a guide, this fairly short mode should not exceed 20°C or 400 rpm . If you have a washing net at home, do not hesitate to put your delicate clothes inside out so that the drum does not unravel the material. As for drying, we are counting on you to ban the dryer and favor a flat exposure which will prevent it from deforming, all in a well-ventilated area.
If our responsible hemp and organic cotton sweatshirt catches your eye, you should know that its maintenance is child's play. It can be machine washed at 30°C with a spin cycle of up to 600 rpm . To avoid deforming it, flat drying is also recommended, preferably away from direct sunlight.
