Women's cardigan short

This cardigan, which Lanius makes largely from fine alpaca hair, is extremely soft, warm and temperature-regulating. There is also a small amount of polyamide for shape retention. The knitted fabric is airy and has a slight sheerness, especially on the stripes. The cropped cardigan has raglan sleeves and is fastened with matching stone nut buttons. The body and sleeves are finished with ribbed knit cuffs.

The work of fashion label Lanius is influenced by three factors: first, a style characterised by sophisticated designs and forms, secondly the use of certified raw materials and thirdly the guarantee that all garments have been produced under fair working conditions. Depending on the garment, one factor may get centre stage, but the other factors don’t move out of the focus – however, importance is always attached to outstanding quality both in terms of materials and finish. The label was founded in 1999 by Claudia Lanius, who works on all her ideas and designs in her Cologne studio; she has them developed by her team and then assembled by producers in several countries.
