LAV.
THE LAV NECK WARMER.
We constantly try to optimize and make products in the best and most sustainable ways. One challenge we face in textile production is the left-over material that arises. The Lav Merino neck warmer is made from left-over fabrics from the Lupin t-shirt.
FOR ANY ACTIVITY.
The Lav neck warmer is an extremely versatile piece. Use it as neck warmer or pull it upp over your cheeks or why not use it as light beanie.
LAV MATERIALS.
THE PERFECT BLEND.
All natural fibers with naturally anti-bacterial properties that stays fresh day after day after day.
THE FABRIC CALLED ÄNG.
Äng is a 170g/sqm fabric and the main fiber, 60%, is mulesing free Merino wool. Merino wool has some of the most astonishing qualities. It is a great insulator and has at the same time, great evaporate properties. This means that when in cold climate, Merino wool keeps you warm and when in warm climate, Merino wool cools you down. It is also naturally anti-bacterial which means that you can wear your neck warmer longer without starting to smell. Merino wool is an organic and sustainable fiber and we have sourced the highest quality wool, guaranteed mulesing free.
The other 40% of our blend is Tencel. Tencel is a cellulose fiber that comes from the raw material wood. It is such a fine fiber that it is soft like silk to your skin. Not only is tencel extremely smooth, it has also really good absorbent and evaporate properties. This means that it helps the Merino wool to regulate your temperature and keeping you, not too warm, not too cold. Just like Merino wool the Tencel fiber is an organic and sustainable fiber.
LAV PRODUCTION.
CLOSER TO HOME.
Designed by Norra in Sweden and with a fabric knitted in Sweden, the Lav neck warmer carries a great part of textile tradition from Sweden.
KNITTED IN SWEDEN.
In a small town called Marbäck just outside Ulricehamn you find a state of the art knitting factory called Marbäck tricot. Established in 1965 they have evolved and refined the craftsmanship of knitting over many years and if feels extremely good to be able to use their fabrics for our Lav neck warmer.
SEWN IN LATVIA.
About two hours outside of Riga you find a small town called Kuldiga. An old town with beautiful buildings and also known for its extremely wide waterfall.
Here you find a 200 year old brick building, just like what you would imagine a classic factory building to look like. Where the tradition of craftsmanship is mixed with modern technology, creating a blend of perfect harmony. This is where the Lav neck warmer gets sewn.
