Grey 03/17 Sweater: our first unisex Sweater featuring a v-neckline made from 100% Organic Cotton. We love tennis and the 80ies, and wanted to re-invent those cable-knitted V-necks jumpers. Fits slightly loose and goes with everything from jeans to bare legs. 

THE STYLE

Lena is 178 cm, a German size 36 and wearing the 03/17 Sweater in our size M.
