Wrap yourself in our Joren Cardigan for the ultimate cosy winter look. This classic, Grandpa-style cardigan is made from a lofty, soft yarn knitted into a lightweight, chunky design with dropped shoulders and relaxed sleeves for a cosy, laid-back fit in a range of beautiful colours. An ideal piece for layering, we recommend styling over an everyday T-shirt or with a pair of wide-leg jeans for a warm and relaxed outfit.

MATERIAL

40% Nylon, 30% Merino Wool & 30% Alpaca

This knitted blend has temperature regulating qualities, with wool retaining warmth when needed, while remaining cool and breathable on the body. Alpaca creates a fluffy finish for that cosy, comfortable feel. The nylon allows for a strong, durable finish that will keep your knitwear lasting longer.

Alpaca is generally farmed using lower impact traditional methods. Their soft hooves reduce the amount of soil erosion caused by alpaca farming, allowing for minimal damage to the land used for farming.

The merino wool in this blend is sourced from Australian non-mulesed sheep, and our alpaca wool is sourced from farms in the Peruvian highlands.

Wool and alpaca fibres are natural, renewable and biodegradable.

MAKER

These knits were made by Hop Hing Woollen Sweaters Factory who we have been working with since 2007. They are a family-owned business established by the late Mr Tsui Senior in 1962. Now owned and managed by his son Jeff, they have their head office, development team and sampling in Hong Kong and their main manufacturing in Dongguan, China. We visit Hop Hing at least once a year and have a great, long-term working relationship with them. We are actively working to source the most sustainable yarns with them through Novetex and UPW. Jeff's team is highly experienced, and their operation has full, onsite capabilities including washing and finishing.

SIZE & FIT

Elk have designed this cardigan as a cosy, loose-knit perfect for shrugging into cooler weather with a slightly cropped silhouette. If you prefer a neater fit, you could choose to go down a size.

These jeans look great with a top tucked in or with a relaxed, layered silhouette.

MATERIAL & MAKERS NOTES

Our Fredine Bag combines the practicality of day-to-day functional details with a stylish approach, thanks to the use of natural colours and twist handle design. With slightly textured leather that is soft and supple, this style also features an internal pocket, zipper closure and is lined in cotton for comfort. The innovative twist handle design will be sure to earn you compliments, while the colour tones will allow for versatility in styling and wear.

Cow Nappa Leather

Leather is a natural, renewable material made from animal hides that have been preserved and softened through a tanning process. We select our leathers based on their properties and the intended application. Leather lasts a long time, ages well and is easy to care for and repair. Unlike many synthetic materials, leather develops patina over time and gets better with age. Buying a well-made leather product can be considered an investment and supports the slow fashion ethos of “buying less, buying better”. Leather can be recycled or upcycled, and once it reaches the end of its lifecycle it is biodegradable.

Chromium VI is not used in any tanning processes for our leathers.

Maker

Achieve the perfect balance of striking style and everyday comfort with our Dahme Pant. Crafted from a heavier weight French linen for cooler weather, the flattering silhouette drapes comfortably across many different body types, with a slightly cropped length and flat front, as well as functional side pockets. For a truly bold look, pair with the matching Dahme Jacket, or for an edgy, everyday look consider styling with a neutral T-shirt or fitted top and finish with a sneaker.

Material

100% French Linen

This garment has been made from 100% French Linen; natural fibre from flax grown in the light, breathable fabric that is durable and strong. It wrinkles easily which is part of its appeal, it is easy to care for and becomes softer with age and wear. Flax is a highly productive crop requiring minimal water, herbicides, or pesticides to grow, making it a better environmental choice than many other natural fibers, such as conventionally grown cotton.

Material

100% Cupro - Elk preferred fibre

Made from a cellulose fibre, Cupro is a breathable, fine material that is soft to touch and beautiful to wear and has a similar feel to silk. It's a unique fabric as it is hypoallergenic, anti-static, stretch-resistant, incredibly durable and dries quickly. This material is also one of the most sustainable choices with the lowest impacts as it is produced in a 'closed loop' which means the chemicals used can be extracted after production and the water can be reused.

Maker

These garments were made by Fluid Connection who were established in 2006 and are located in Hangzhou, China. They have been making garments for us since 2016 and we visit the operation at least twice a year. The factory that we make our products in is a relatively small operation but quite modern with automated systems for efficiencies and quality. They are members of Sedex and we chose to operate with them not only for their skills but as they are located close to out fabric and trims suppliers, this reduces transportation impacts and shares other third party suppliers such as dye and print houses. They are actively working with us on ways to improve the sustainable profiles of our product through alternative packaging methods and improved trims.
