The fusion of style and comfort is a rare find in today’s fashion landscape. More often than not, items that excel in unique and striking designs tend to compromise on comfort, while cozy clothing tends to lack in style and originality. Alanui has defied this trend by creating the ultimate cozy yet highly-differentiated cardigan, shattering the notion that style and comfort cannot coexist. This garment has redefined fashion and has the ability to enhance any outfit it is paired with to the next level.
The Blueprint Of Alanui’s Cardigans
Every Alanui cardigan is meticulously made with an extraordinary attention to detail, taking a total of 11 hours to create, with 5 hours dedicated to the intricate knitting process and an additional 6 hours for assembly. The hallmark of Alanui cardigans is their iconic silhouette, including a wrap design, belted, wide sleeves, and distinctive fringe edges along the hem. Chances are, most fashion fanatics you’ve encountered have admired this famous signature look before, as it has become synonymous with the eccentric artistry that Alanui is renowned for.
The Alanui cardigans are available in a wide variety of captivating prints and colors, each with its own personality. No two designed Alanui cardigans are the same, but they are all designed to be inclusive. Alanui creates gender-neutral styles without any specific connotations attached. Whether you find something you like in the men’s or women’s collection, know that it’s essentially designed for everyone. According to owners Nicolò and Carlotta Oddi, they were inspired to create more luxurious versions of a cardigan they discovered from the 70s in a Pasadena flea market. This sparked the idea that a garment would journey with its wearer throughout their life, with “Alanui” meaning “large path.”
The Hidden Lucky Charm In Every Cardigan
Inside every Alanui Cardigan, there is a hidden Saint Christopher’s medal, who is the patron of travelers on the sea, sky, and earth. This medal is an aged tradition and has become a part of surfer culture. The brand has placed these medals into every cardigan since it’s creation, making it a hidden lucky charm. When you wear the cardigan, you can feel the prosperity and good fortune coming your way. (From a luxury enthusiast’s perspective, the medal also adds to the authenticity of the cardigan, which could be a valuable feature if you ever decide to sell it in the future).
