How to measure your dog

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 dog falls between two sizes, choose the larger.

Care

Hand-wash cold with mild soap. Lay flat to dry. Reshape while damp. Do not tumble dry. Do not wring.

If washing in a delicate-cycle machine, always place the sweater in a wash care bag to protect the brass label.

Cared for this way, baby alpaca softens with every wash rather than pilling.

The engraved brass label is finished with a heat-cured protective resin and will not tarnish, dull, or lift — even after machine washing.

Traceability

Designed in Paris. Hand-knit in Huancayo, Peru, at 4,200 metres, by the women of our atelier. Each piece is knit one at a time, by one person, from start to finish.

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.

Returns
Made-to-order pieces are not eligible for return or exchange, as each is knit individually for you. Because our sweaters are hand-knit by artisans and not machine-made, small irregularities in stitch, tension, or shape are a natural and expected part of the process — a mark of handwork, not a defect.
