White 03/17 Sweater – our first unisex Sweater featuring a v-neckline made from 100% Organic Cotton. We love tennis and the 80ies, and wanted to re-invent those cable-knitted V-necks jumpers. Fits slightly loose and goes with everything from jeans to bare legs. 

THE STYLE

Lena is 178 cm, a German size 36 and wearing the 03/17 Sweater in our size M.

ABOUT THE FABRIC

100% Organic Cotton, GOTS certified.

WHO MADE THIS SWEATER

The 03/17 Sweater is designed in Munich by our mastermind and fantastic tailor Sabine Dicklberger. It is produced by our manufacturing partner Schneiderei Winkler in Germany.

WHAT IS SO GOOD ABOUT THIS LONGSLEEVE

The Material. Organic Cotton is a hero. The production does not require chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or defoliants, and the social impact improves the well-being of the farmers. Head over to our CONSCIOUS FASHION GUIDE for more information on Organic Cotton.
