Striped Rib Sweater, Ivory/Navy - 100% alpaca wool
The classic winter sweater gets a contemporary twist with the stripy design by Esencia! A warm and snug garment to keep your child covered without compromising in comfort! The simple funnel neck-line adds an original touch, while the ladybug applique is fun and cute. The three-row rib design makes it snugly while also ensuring plenty of room for the child to freely move and play around!
Hand made according to fair trade production, this sweater is made from 100% alpaca wool, a fabric that is warmer and more durable than sheep’s wool and is as silky as cashmere, a perfect yarn for children as it insulates, absorbs moisture and breathes.
A high quality product, also great as a gift idea!
