A luxury dachshund sweater hand-loomed in 100% baby alpaca, drafted on a long-bodied frame.

The cable knit is the one we return to every season, drafted on a long-bodied frame so the proportions read correctly from collar to tail.

Most sweaters for dachshunds are simply small sweaters made longer. This one is drafted from scratch.

Hand-loomed and assembled by our team of women artisans in Huancayo, Peru. Available in Lilac, Mushroom, and Sand. Made in a limited run of 70 pieces per colour. Each one numbered — the place it holds within its run. Once a colour sells out, it does not return.

Composition

Yarn: 100% baby alpaca. Stitch: cable knit, hand-loomed on manual flat looms. Buttons: horn-finished. Construction: drafted on a long-bodied frame for the dachshund, with sleeves and ribbed cuffs. Hand-loomed and assembled in Huancayo, Peru.

Size & fit

The Teckel Polo Sweater is drafted exclusively for dachshunds — Kaninchen, Miniature, and Standard.

Available sizes
· XXS — very small Kaninchen
· XS — Kaninchen
· S — small Miniature Dachshunds
· M — Miniature Dachshunds
· L — Standard Dachshunds

How to measure
· Back length — from the base of the collar to the base of the tail
· Chest — the widest point, just behind the front legs
· Neck — where the collar sits

If your dachshund falls between two sizes, choose the larger. A sweater should sit with ease across the chest, not pull.

care & traceability

Care
Hand-wash cold with a mild detergent designed for wool or fine fibres — never use regular detergent, which strips the natural oils from the alpaca. Soak for no more than 10 minutes. Rinse gently. Press the water out with a towel — do not wring or twist. Lay flat to dry, away from direct sunlight or heat. Reshape while damp.

Cared for this way, baby alpaca softens with every wash rather than pilling. The fibre is naturally hypoallergenic, breathable, and lanolin-free.

Store folded, not hung, with a piece of cedar to keep moths away. Avoid plastic bags.

Traceability
Designed in Paris. Hand-loomed and assembled by our team of women artisans in Huancayo, Peru, at 4,200 metres above sea level.

Every piece is loomed on manual flat looms — machines operated entirely by hand, without electricity or automation — then assembled by hand: the pieces joined, the seams closed, the buttons sewn on one by one.

The yarn itself is spun by Michell & Cía, Arequipa, under Fair Trade Peru certification (BPCJ). Coloured without azo dyes, compliant with OEKO-TEX and REACH.

Colette et Gastón works in small batches because the alternative is to make poorly. We do not over-produce.

What it's made of.

What it's made of.

Peruvian Alpaca

Warmer than wool. Lighter than cashmere. It doesn't pill, doesn't scratch, and softens with every wash. Ours comes from Huancayo, Peru — at 4,200 metres, where the altitude produces a fibre that simply cannot be replicated anywhere else.


The Standard We Hold

Our alpaca is Alpaca Mark certified — the international guarantee of genuine fibre. All dyes are azo-free. Every material is REACH compliant. We don't mention this to impress. We mention it because the owner who reads the label deserves an honest answer.


100% Cotton Against the Skin

Our raincoats are lined entirely in organic cotton. Our shirts and blouses are 100% cotton. Because what touches your dog's coat matters as much as what the room sees — and that is not a detail. It is the whole point.
