Aiayu

Sandy Mittens

Kr 1.600

Sandy are fingerless mittens knitted in soft and exclusive Illama wool. The mittens have a ribbed ribbing and a lovely textured knit on the rest.

Aiayu sources Ilama wool from a factory in Bolivia that purifies and reuses waste water and uses renewable energy. Ilama wool is Aiayu's signature material and has amazing properties; it is durable, low-pilling, suitable for allergy sufferers, self-cleaning and, not least, warm. A little wonder from nature.

Aiayu - pronounced [ai-ya-yu] - means 'soul' in the indigenous Aymara language of Bolivia. Their label was founded in 2005 by Maria Høgh Heilmann to create products with consideration for the environment, the worker and the user. Fabrics are chosen for their structures and tactile properties, how they feel against the skin. The gentle, natural palette reveals materials and yarns primarily in their natural color without the use of chemical dyes. The garments are made in Bolivia, India and Nepal and are closely linked to their origins and people.
