Tilko Sweater

Product Details

Knitted from organic cotton and silk and printed with a colourful and striking design, the Tilko Sweater is a versatile piece with both day and night time appeal. A rounded neckline moves into a gentle balloon sleeve, which can be pushed up above the elbow to create more of a voluminous silhouette. We love a statement knit to offer an alternative look and feel to an outfit. The yarn is super soft and will translate well between seasons.

Material

80% Organic Cotton 20% Spun Silk

This yarn has been crafted from a blend of organic cotton and spun silk for a luxuriously soft feel and breathable finish. Certified organic cotton is grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers or hazardous pesticides, which protects biodiversity and waterways and builds and maintains soil fertility. The organic cotton in this blend has been sourced from Turkey. The natural fibres in this blend are 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 have a great, long-term working relationship with them. We are actively working to source more sustainable yarns with them through Novetex and UPW.

The factory is a member of Sedex and undergoes regular social compliance audits

Size and Fit

Designed to have a regular fit. Key fit points to check for best size are around the bust and the hem opening. As a knit it will soften slightly with wear.

All garments are measured flat (not on body) and then doubled (except the length) to calculate the total circumference. To work out what size will suit you best, flat measure an item that fits you well and use this as a guide. Please contact us if you have any questions or need more information.
