"Navy blue with colourful flowers on the button placket – so elegant yet cheerful."

"Lali" Hand-knitted & Embroidered Nepal Cardigan

The "Lali" is an exceptional piece of Nepalese knitwear. It combines the powerful structure of traditional Aran cable patterns with colourful, meticulous hand embroidery – a cardigan that provides warmth and is a true statement piece at the same time. Each jacket is made by experienced knitters in Panauti, Banepa, and Shakhu, entirely by hand and with great attention to detail.

The model in the product photos is 170 cm tall and wears the cardigan in size XL – the fit is normal to loose, ideal for layering and cozy looks. The detailed size chart with all measurements can be found directly with the product images.

Material & Warmth

The thick, navy blue Nepalese sheep's wool (100%) ensures reliable, natural warmth, a robust and durable structure, as well as breathable properties and a pleasantly balanced body climate – without fleece, but with a pure, natural wool feel. The perfect companion for autumn, winter, and cool evenings.

Design & Pattern

The "Lali" combines two traditional handicraft techniques: distinctive Aran-inspired cable patterns on the sleeves and back in the style of classic fisherman's knitwear, combined with vibrant, hand-embroidered floral motifs along the button placket and shoulder. Since each motif is hand-embroidered, each piece is slightly different – true craftsmanship that gives the cardigan a warm, playful character.

Practical Details

• Large, round wooden buttons
• Two practical front pockets
• Classic ribbed cuffs for a good fit
• Heavy, high-quality knit

Fair & Social

With this cardigan, you support Nepalese knitters and their secure income, the preservation of traditional craftsmanship, and sustainable, fair production in small family businesses. "Lali" is clothing with heart and meaning – ideal for everyday wear, winter, and special occasions.

As all floral motifs are entirely hand-embroidered, colours, position, and details may vary slightly. These small differences make each "Lali" cardigan unique and give it the special charm of genuine handmade craftsmanship.
