A limited release of the Bella cardigan, featuring hand-sewn, pure wool pankou closures.

The Entwined collection explores how traditional techniques and modern technology can meet to create sustainable and beautiful design. Pankou closures have been crafted and used to fasten Chinese clothing for centuries, and still are today. Each Pankou that we have chosen is made from pure wool and sewn on by hand, an example of beautiful craftsmanship where function meets form.

In an era where quick, cheap plastic buttons have become the default, we have been exploring natural button alternatives like shell, corozzo, and in this case wool. 

The Bella is Seamlessly knitted on whole-garment knitting machines in Melbourne, Australia, and finished by hand in Auckland, Aotearoa.

Mid Weight.

100% Extra-fine Merino Wool.
