No. Every motif is knitted jacquard or intarsia: the skeleton, the web, the moons are made of yarn, worked into the fabric on industrial flat-bed machines. There is no print to crack, peel or fade. Pattern and garment are the same object.
Your piece does not exist until you order it. The machine is programmed, the yarn is mounted, your garment is knitted, hand-finished, steamed and shipped. It takes 2 to 3 weeks and it is the whole point: no dead stock, no warehouse.
Shipping is free and tracked, worldwide. After your piece ships: EU 2-3 working days, UK and US 3-6, rest of the world up to 10. You receive the tracking by email the moment it leaves the atelier.
Orders ship from Italy. US: personal imports under 800 dollars are duty-free, so a one or two garment order attracts no charges. UK, Switzerland, Norway and other non-EU destinations: your parcel may attract local import VAT or duties, collected by the courier before delivery; where applied, those charges are the recipient's responsibility. Inside the EU there is nothing to pay, ever.
Relaxed unisex fit, true to size; the size guide on every product page has flat garment measurements in cm. Between sizes, take the bigger one. If you get it wrong anyway, the size exchange is free.
Heavyweight knitted jacquard in 50% wool, 50% acrylic: warm and substantial like pure wool, harder-wearing and easier to live with. A finished sweater weighs 450 to 650 grams depending on size. Hand wash cold or wool cycle 30 degrees, never wring or hang: dry flat on a towel, away from sun and radiators.
Yes: 14 days from delivery, and the size exchange is free. Full conditions are on the Shipping and Returns page. We only ask that the piece comes back unworn, unwashed, and free of incense burns.
