Ethno: Brown Alpaca Wool Sweater

Ethno traces the roots of our Baltic culture, with intricate tonal symbols traditionally used by our Pagan ancestors to keep you balanced and in harmony. Inspired by unique Baltic ethnographic patterns, it's perfectly oversized and promises to keep you twice as cozy. Fluffy, fuzzy and impossibly warm, Ethno's prolonged sleeves are the final cherry on top. Designed as part of our collaboration with our fav Lithuanian designer, Eglė Žiemytė.

Production

For this knit we partnered up with a family-owned knitwear factory in Šiauliai, a small town in Northern Lithuania. The factory is run by Daiva who opened the factory 25 years ago with her husband Redas. Today, Daiva employs around 20 women from the local community, including her daughters, Gabija and Armina. Each sweater piece is individually factory-knitted at Daiva's and then sewn together by hand. This zero-waste approach is pretty cool because it ensures no leftover scraps - we literally knit the shapes that'll be sewn together.
