THE STORY
The knitted beanie: A classic that will never go out of style, and that fit any and every occasion, from meetings to mountains. Obviously, an iconic piece like this deserves a spot in our permanent collection. We have previously made knitted beanies locally in Oslo, but unfortunately we were not able to continue production, and had to look for other alternatives.

After lots of research and testing, we became aware of Filpucci – a skilled yarn producer in Italy. They were able to provide us with recycled yarn from pre-owned wool garments, and with that the idea of a recycled beanie was born.

RECYCLED MATERIALS
The Recycled Wool Beanie is made of pre-owned wool garments that have been recycled. The fibers in the garments are separated and spun to new yarn by Filpucci in Italy. The yarn is then sent to Barcelos, Portugal, where the manufacturer Barceltricot Knitwear knits the beanies.

In addition to the actual beanie, the label is also recycled. It is made of used leather that has been crushed to a powder. The powder is then mixed with other natural materials to become a solid piece of fabric. The result is a natural and recycled product.

Note: Recycling is all good, but we would never call it sustainable. There are definitely emissions tied to recycled garments as well. The most important thing we can do for the environment either way is to create durable garments that you wear for as long as possible. Please take good care of this beanie!

DETAILS

  • 100% recycled wool from pre-owned garments
  • Label with discrete logo in recycled leather
  • The beanie is fully fashion knit which means that it doesn't need to be cut or sewn, resulting in less waste

STORE AND MICROFACTORY
Our store is not your typical shop. Sure, we sell clothes and make money from it, but can we do everything the opposite of what typical clothing stores do? Our goal is just as much about opening minds and showing that it's possible to do things in a completely different way, with a totally different footprint.
