Cardigan Betana Camel

The reversible-cardigan is made of very soft and warm baby alpaca wool – perfect for the cold seasons. The chunky knit is super soft and will surely keep you warm at any time. Buttoned-up, Betana can be worn as a pullover as well – even backwards. Oh and the big buttons are made from recycled paper and are thus 100% compostable.

The wool of our cardigan comes from Alpacas that live freely in the Andes of Peru. They are trimmed once a year with respect to strict guidelines protecting their well-being – an aspect that is of uppermost importance to us as the well-being of the animals is an absolut priority for us. Oh and interesting to know is that the term “baby-alpaca” doesn’t refer to the wool of baby alpacas but describes the particularly warm and soft underhair of adult alpacas.
Now you might think: sounds great, but why don’t you produce the pullover in India, as usual? The main reason is that (until now) we couldn’t find any wool-knit-wear producers that matched our sustainability requirements. Hence, we decided to collaborate with the Swiss-Peruvian lable Jungle Folk whose knit wear is handmade by a Peruvian initiative supporting women.
