PRODUCT DETAILS
The red and blue cardigan made with a dead stock striped jersey I got from my favourite fabric shop (sewing guide in coming).
Lined with a grey striped fabric.
Supportive double lined, with cotton hook and eye tape up the centre and metal hoops measuring 2.5cm.
Collar and cuffs double lined.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
This item is actually machine washable [hurray]!
But to hand wash and spot wash is really good for the planet so remember this!
Line dry when possible - tumble dry not recommended.
Instructions on how to hand wash your el bras please see here.
SUSTAINABILITY PLEDGE
All our trimmings and elastics are sourced in the UK. This means less shipping fuel costs for our planet earth.
A lot of our trims come from a lingerie manufacturing warehouse that closed down - so dead stock through and through.
We are currently using an Eco-modal knit fabric which is made from dissolving wood pulp in a multi staged chemical process.
Modal fabrics are made from natural fibres and are completely biodegradable which means they are considered a sustainable product but you have to be careful: sometimes the wood fibres are not sourced responsibly or the chemical systems that are used to break them down are not done in a sustainable way.
The modal knit fabric we use, however, is made in Austria at a company who have led this technology. They have a cO2 neutral system that involves a closed loop system. As an alternative to cotton, wood based fibres are seen to have a significantly lower impact on the environment as they do not require intensive watering or the use of pesticides.

If you would like a slight variation on the original please let us know and we can make it for you.
This includes: different length, different size O rings, another fabric.
This is at a 20% surcharge fee and if we have to get another fabric then that will be added onto the bill also.
This item is made to order so please leave at least 2 weeks for your item to be made. If you are in a rush, an event, a birthday, we also offer a fast track service for a 20% surcharge. Please email cheekyquestions@elbras.co.uk if you need this.
