This vintage sweater captures timeless charm with its warm beige tones. During the repair process, we replaced the patches using a woven fabric. It’s now the perfect piece for crisp autumn days. Aside from the thread, no new resources were used in its creation. Please note the charming bottle mark on the backside of the patch. This second-hand piece is in perfect condition, redesigned and sewn with love in every stitch.

To keep your treasured upcycled garment looking its best, please note that it requires extra care. Please take this into consideration before making a purchase.
We have conducted extensive washing tests on our Åkle garments. Your garment can be machine-washed using a delicate wool wash program. But, we recommend minimizing the washing of your garment for both its longevity and the environment's sake.
Fresh Air: Allowing your garment to hang outdoors in the fresh air once in a while can breathe new life into it.
Machine Wash: You can use your machine if it has a delicate hand wash program with cold water or up to 40 degrees.
Low Spin Speed: After hand/machine washing you must select a delicate cycle with a low spin speed (600) on your washing machine.
Hang Dry: After washing, let your garment air dry, laying on top of your drying rack. This will ensure that it dries naturally and maintains its original form.
Store with Love: When not in use, store your garment with love in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
