The Merinaa fine knit vegan sweater is very easy to wear and soft to touch. Designed by eco-conscious, ethical brand, Armed Angels this lovely sweater has a slightly boxy fiy with a subtle and flattering mock neck. Ethically made from 100% organic cotton at the Teksim Giyim Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S factory in Turkey.
Why choose organic cotton? Regular cotton is a very pesticide-intensive crop but organic fibres are grown without the use of harmful pesticides or genetically modified organisms so promote a healthier environment for wildlife, animals and people.
Social conditions are higher in organic textile factories so this cotton production can help farmers find a way out of poverty. Organic textiles don't contain allergenic, carcinogenic or toxic chemicals and as a result are a natural, renewable and biodegradable fibre. In addition, less water is the manufacturing process.
About the brand
Cologne based brand Armed Angels was founded in 2007 by two friends, Anton Jurina and Martin Höfelerho. This progressive and compassionate duo wanted to create a clothing company that was genuinely commited to sustainable and ethical practices. They were recognized for their inspirational business model by winning the Wirtschaftswoche Entrepreneur Competition in 2009 and still going strong and without compromise, they have created one of the first clothing brands to make stylish, functional and high-quality collections while keeping the welfare of the people and planet first.
