Why is this sweater more expensive than average?
Why is this sweater more expensive than average?
Because we pay everyone fairly. Because we pay a fair price for sustainable, local materials. But most importantly: because the average isn't expensive enough to guarantee all of this.
We're not math geniuses, but we figure that if you invest in a really sturdy sweater, it will end up costing you less than buying a new one every two years.

How to care for your sweater?
How to care for your sweater?
A wool sweater does not need to be washed frequently. Wool is a naturally bactericidal and breathable fiber: it wicks away moisture and neutralizes odors.
Air it out rather than wash it
If your sweater has no stains, there is no need to put it in the washing machine. Simply hang it out in the open air for a few hours, ideally in a ventilated space. The ambient humidity will help the fiber regain its freshness.
Occasional, delicate washing
If washing is truly necessary:
By hand: submerge it in cold or lukewarm water (max 30°C) with a special wool detergent, without rubbing or twisting. Press gently to let the soapy water penetrate.
In the machine: "wool" or "delicate" cycle on cold, with minimal spin (400-600 rpm). A laundry mesh bag can prevent it from losing its shape.
Drying without distortion
Never wring it out forcefully, put it in the dryer, or hang it directly, as this would stretch or shrink the fibers. For optimal drying:
- Press out excess water in a terry towel.
- Dry the sweater flat on a level surface, away from sunlight and direct heat sources (no radiators).
Storage and regular care
- Light brushing from time to time to remove dust and revive the fibers.
- Anti-pilling: use a wool comb to remove any fuzz.
- Storage: fold your sweater rather than hanging it to prevent it from losing its shape.
With these simple steps, your wool sweater will retain its luster and softness for years!

Made from upcycled vintage clothing
Made from recycled wool, this sweater gives new life to existing fibers (mainly old discarded sweaters) rather than using virgin resources. This is the very principle of the circular economy.
Fun fact: wool can be recycled at least 6 times to recreate garments and does not necessarily need to be re-dyed, which greatly reduces its environmental impact.
Stronger than strong
It’s well known that wool is durable. What is less known, however, is that recycled wool fibers that have already lived a full life (washes, light, daily wear and tear) have an overall resistance superior to virgin wool. Yes, that's right, there has been a natural selection; only the fibers that survived their first life remain.
Our sweater will accompany you season after season, without losing quality or style.
CREW, the breathable sweater
Title not at all inspired by a shoe brand. Wool offers natural thermoregulating, insulating, and breathable properties. It retains heat by trapping air in its hollow fibers while wicking away moisture to prevent clamminess. This unique combination ensures optimal comfort across a wide range of temperatures.
In addition, its breathable nature eliminates odors.
Embroidered to last
Embroidery is the most durable method for personalizing a garment (and also the most stylish, let's be honest). Thanks to the expertise of our embroiderer in Namur, the authenticity of our logo will follow you wherever you go.
