Bibico Freya Pure Lambswool Waistcoat - Charcoal
Handknitted vest in a warm mohair blend with patched pockets. The perfect layering piece; adds warmth without the bulkiness of a full-sleeved jumper. One of Snow’s favourites, she wears it all year round with t-shirts and dresses and even over other jumpers on very cold days. Functional and very cosy. Deep V neck. Buttoned placket with eco-friendly engraved buttons. Ribbed detail at the neckline, around the armholes and at the hem. Two patched pockets.
Our hand knitted woollens are made by talented knitters in Nepal. It takes a week to finish a piece. The quality of these warm winter jumpers and cardigans is exceptional. The yarn in these special pieces is hand-spun, hand-dyed and made from non-mulesed wool. It is a resilient, pure yarn that further softens and adapts over time.
These exclusive knits are made in small runs at a Fair Trade cooperative in Nepal. To reflect the personal quality of these knits, and in acknowledgement of the skills of the women who made them, the signature of the woman who knitted the piece is included and attached to the wash care label.
Nieves Ruiz Ramos, or Snow to her customers, is the woman behind the brand, and since creating the label in 2008, her designs, which include timeless dresses, tailored tops, knitwear and accessories, has earned her a loyal following. Every item is crafted from hand-picked fabrics and produced in fair trade cooperatives that are certified by the World Fair Trade Organisation.
