The Craft Story:
These cardigans come from Otavalo, Ecuador, a region celebrated for its Indigenous weaving and textile heritage. Lucila and Jose's families knit each cardigan using hand-guided knitting machines before carefully adding hand-appliqué and embroidery inspired by animals and nature.
Every colourful character is individually stitched and positioned by hand, transforming each cardigan into a joyful wearable artwork. The result is a product that celebrates cultural tradition while bringing warmth and creativity into children’s everyday lives.

Handcrafted Variation Note
Each piece is handcrafted individually, meaning slight variations in tone, texture and measurement (up to 20%) are a natural part of the process — and what makes your piece entirely your own. This is not considered a fault.
