DEDICATED women's SWAN sweater in organic cotton

Some prints are just “fun.” And then there are prints that make you look just a little bit longer. The DEDICATED women's SWAN sweater definitely falls into the latter category. Those two swans on the black background, with that soft interplay of lines in cream, light blue, and peach… I think it’s truly beautiful. Graphic, a touch artistic, and yet very wearable.

In terms of style, it’s the same great type of sweater as the AUTUMN FLOWERS: a regular fit, round neckline, and raglan sleeves. So, not oversized, not tight, but just the kind of fit that feels comfortable and is easy to combine.

Why you want this sweater

The swan print basically does all the work. You don’t need to add much else. Pair it with black trousers, jeans, a skirt, sneakers, or boots, and you’re good to go. Precisely because the base is black, the print remains understated enough to wear often.

The sweater is made of 100% organic cotton and has a sturdy 400 gsm quality. It feels nice and substantial without being one of those thick, brushed winter sweaters. The inside is unbrushed: so it isn't roughened or fleece-like, but smoother on the inside.

How does the DEDICATED SWAN sweater fit?

The SWAN has a regular fit. It falls normally along the body and features raglan sleeves, which make the shoulders appear softer and allow the sweater to move comfortably.

The studio model is 1.73m tall and is wearing a size S. In principle, just choose your own size. If you prefer a bit more room, you can of course size up, but the style is comfortable by nature without being tight.

Material & sustainability

This sweater is made of 100% organic cotton and is Fairtrade, GOTS, and ROC™ certified. This means that clear requirements are set for people, the environment, and agriculture during cotton production and processing.

And we find that especially important for an item you wear often. A good sweater shouldn't be a “one-season and done” piece. This is the kind of sweater you’ll keep reaching for because it's easy to wear, pairs well with everything, and yet has that little something special.

How do you style the SWAN sweater?

I wouldn’t make it too complicated. The print is already strong enough. With black trousers, it becomes very calm and chic. With blue jeans, it’s a bit more relaxed and everyday. And with a long skirt or wide-leg trousers, it takes on a completely different look.

Also nice: let a white or light blue shirt peek out just under the hem so you pick up a color from the print. Small detail, big effect.

How to keep the print looking great

For printed sweaters, the rule is: treat the print with a little love. Hot washing, tumble drying, fabric softener, and too much detergent can damage the print. The colors can dull faster, or the print may eventually crack or wear off.

Therefore, wash this sweater inside out at a low temperature, use only a small amount of mild detergent, and skip the fabric softener. Then, simply let it air dry. So, no tumble dryer, no matter how tempting that may be.

Ironing? Do it inside out and never iron directly over the print.
