Made from 100% organic cotton and handcrafted in Peru. To care for your knitwear, we recommend hand washing or using a cold, gentle machine cycle with a wool-approved detergent. To protect the ceramic buttons, ensure they are fastened and wash the knit inside out. You can also wrap the buttons in a soft cloth while washing.

Avoid unnecessary washing to help preserve the fibres and extend the life of the garment. After washing, gently remove excess water by rolling in a towel and dry flat on a rack away from direct heat.

How does the blue design differ from the cream version?

The Aquarium Blue Cardigan features a deeper, more defined colour palette, with the blue base giving the design a more graphic, statement feel. The cream version offers a softer, more neutral interpretation of the same 1995 archive design, making both options easy to style in different ways.

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.
