About Amano:
Rooted in over forty years of craftsmanship, Amano began with a journey through South America, and a deep appreciation for knitwear made a mano (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.
Star Pullover in Purple
This sweater is my new favorite. Soft, thick, well-made, and not itchy at all! Plus, it shipped way faster than I expected!
Beautifully made
This is my second of the star jumpers and I cannot recommend them enough. I saved for both of them but they are so, so worth it and I will have them for life.
They are not at all scratchy but are so warm and comfortable. The design is gorgeous and I love the collar and sleeve cuff details. Thank you Amano!
