Fi (Cropped)
Design Details:
A winter snuggler or a spring cover-up, our supersoft Fi (Cropped) has a relaxed shape finishing above the hip, ballooning sleeves and a slim cuff detail to accentuate all that ballooniness. It’s the sort of cardi that works for smart or casual or bed apparently – our customers tell us it’s entirely un-take-off-able.
Quality:
We’ve chosen the best quality, irresistibly soft (not itchy) mohair silk from Italy. The style is knitted and hand-stitched together by our lovely knitters in Nottingham.
Responsible Retail:
Mulesing Free and Only Cruelty Free Mohair. We choose 100% natural fibres that can be recycled into new yarn, so when your cardi is ready for retirement, send it back to us so we can give it a second life.
(Named after Fi, a total fashion maven, marvellous mother of twins, who is always on the lookout for rainbows.)
The size & fit of our mohair cardigans
We are limiting our size range to help reduce waste – HOWEVER – we’ve sampled our balloon sleeve cardi over and over in order to come up with a size that fits as many people as possible. If you’re size 12 and under, it will be roomier. If you are size 14 and over, it will be more snug. If you’re tall it will appear cropped, if you’re small it may fall a little below your hips. Sleeve length depends on (you guessed it) your arm length – but the cuffs turn back easily and the shorter your arms, the more balloony swag you’ll get around your wrists.
The quality of our mohair cardigans
Our balloon sleeve cardis are made with a high quality kid mohair/silk mix that creates a vibrant colour of colour. We searched the world for a non-itchy mohair because everyone comes out in hives even thinking about mohair, including us. So when we say it’s not itchy, it’s really not – unless you’re a fish.
We want you to love your sweater forever, but when it finally is holier than the Pope himself, we will happily have it back to make into fresh new yarn.
How our mohair cardigans are responsibly made
• All our garments are knitted and hand-stitched together by our lovely knitters in Nottingham.
• We believe in promoting UK manufacturing in order to reduce CO2 emissions and to retain Britain’s skills in knitwear production.
• We also believe in paying our team fairly and frankly – knitting in the UK isn’t cheap. But it comes at a lower cost to the environment – and that’s what we care most about.

Our Take Back Service
Everything we make is designed to be unmade. Unlike most brands, we accept responsibility for the entire life-cycle of our garments.
So if it’s broken, we can fix it.
If you’re tired of it, we can resell it for you and give the proceeds to charity.
BUT, when your cardi has had it, hopefully in years to come, we want it back, to dismantle it, chop it up, re-spin into fresh yarn and start all over again.

“This jumper has the best designed sleeves. The perfect balance of slim-fitting yet slouchy.”
Jan Masters, Telegraph Magazine
How are our knits responsibly made?
Your average jumper on the high street will have unnatural fibres in that will never degrade. We only use natural fibres to create our designs. We release our designs in small batches so we don't get left with huge piles of stock and our knitters are local so we don't ship our knits across the globe. When you're done with your jumper you can return it to us so those fibres can be re-cycled into new fabulous knits.
Our knitters are based in the U.K
When we say your jumper is made in the U.K, we mean it. Yes, this means our prices are higher than the high street and so they should be. We know our knitters (meet Brad above), we like our knitters & our knitters are paid fairly. This also means we're not shipping our products across the globe to be manufactured which saves on carbon emissions.
