Alanui’s journey started in 2016 with a collection built around a single unique piece, produced in an array of patterns and colors – the Cardigan. Translating into 'large path' in Hawaiian, the brand was born from the idea of a warm and emotion-charged garment that would travel with its wearer throughout their lifetime.
The Cardigan, part garment, part artwork, is thought as a white canvas continuously reinterpreted to translate the emotion of each journey, through constantly changing patterns, colors, materials and knitting techniques.
Alanui's designs are a celebration of Italian craftsmanship, combining creativity, premium quality fabrics, and meticulous attention to detail.
The oversized cardigans are made with the finest cashmere, from four to seven different yarns, taking between five and seven hours to be knitted and another six to be assembled.
Inside your Alanui cardigan, you will Saint Christopher’s medal, patron saint of travelers on sea, sky and earth.
Wearing an image of a saint, either as a medal or as a sewn-in image, is an old tradition later adopted by the surfer culture. Since day one, this hidden lucky charm is a constant feature of Alanui Cardigan – both as an embellishment and as a subtle reminder of the garment’s vocation as a long-lasting travel companion.
