The hand-knit vest is made from 100% soft, high-quality wool sustainably raised from sheep in Southern Peru. To care for your knitwear, we recommend hand washing or using a cold, gentle machine cycle with a wool-approved detergent. Avoid unnecessary washing to help preserve the fibres and extend the life of the garment. After washing, gently remove excess water by rolling the item in a towel and dry it flat on a rack, away from direct heat.

How is the Market Day Vest made?

The Market Day Vest is ethically hand-knit in Northern Ecuador using 100% soft Peruvian wool. Each piece is made by skilled artisans, reflecting Amano’s commitment to slow, responsible production. It also features handcrafted and painted buttons by artisan Agusto in Cusco.

How does the Market Day Vest fit?

The Markey Day Vest is designed in a relaxed fit, offering a slightly neater look, perfect on top of other layers or just a T-shirt. We recommend that you check the sizing chart before purchase. 

Do you sell any other woollen knitted vests?

Yes, we have another patterned wool vest, the Sunflower Vest. We also have plenty of other hand-knit wool designs.

Do you have a returns policy?

If you are not happy with your purchase for any reason, you can return it for a refund up to 21 days from receipt of goods. The returned product must be new, in perfect condition, and complete with original swing tags and packaging. More information can be found here.

About Amano:

Rooted in over forty years of craftsmanship, Amano began with a journey through South America, and a deep appreciation for knitwear made amano (by hand).

Since 1988, we have worked closely with skilled artisans across Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia, honouring time-tested knitting techniques and celebrating the human connection behind every piece.

Inspired by the past yet always looking to the future, Amano is committed to ethical, fair-trade production and the use of natural fibres. That’s why on our garment tags, you’ll find the name of the exact knitter who handmade your sweater.

Over the last four decades, we have built long-standing relationships with knitters from the remote Carchi region and beyond, creating slow-made knitwear for colour lovers and free spirits who value authenticity, heritage and clothing made with care.
