Our Melchior cardigan is knitted in a multicoloured yarn blend in beige and purple.
It is made from a blend of RWS® certified wool and alpaca and recycled nylon in our certified partner workshop in China, with whom we have been working for 10 years. Together we are pursuing high ambitions for the eco-sustainability of our products.
Alpaca wool is a very high quality fibre. It is softer, warmer, stronger and lighter than sheep's wool. It is recognised as one of the finest fibres and is valued for its strength, insulation and hypoallergenic properties. It is one of the most environmentally friendly wools because it consumes few resources and water and does not require chemical treatment, making it biodegradable.
The RWS® (Responsible Wool Standard), managed by the Textile Exchange organisation, guarantees the proper treatment of wool but also animal welfare. It includes breeding, environmental and social requirements. The wool from these farms is identified and traceable and each site is certified.
We use recycled nylon for its elasticity and resistance. It is an ecological alternative to nylon: this fibre is 100% recycled and recyclable, made notably from plastic waste collected in rubbish bins and oceans.
Our model is 1m76 tall and wears a size S.
