Kite sweater TRUDI – striped ribbed turtleneck in organic cotton
Well, just look at this. This is the kind of sweater that immediately makes you happy. The Kite TRUDI features exactly that lovely retro stripe we love so much: pink, green, cream, dark blue, and warm brown all mixed together. Not loud, but definitely stylish. It’s one of those sweaters that instantly gives your outfit something unique.
And here’s an extra bonus: it’s made from 100% organic cotton. So no wool, no itching, no “I can't wait to take this off” feeling. Just a soft, breathable ribbed sweater that you can comfortably wear on crisp autumn and winter days.
Why you’ll want this sweater
The TRUDI is a fitted ribbed top with long sleeves and a stand-up collar. It’s like a turtleneck, but not one of those thick, suffocating winter collars. Instead, it’s a nice, soft turtleneck that gives your neck just the right amount of warmth and makes your outfit look polished immediately.
The ribbed structure ensures the sweater moves beautifully with your body. It fits a bit more snugly, but thanks to the organic cotton, it feels soft and comfortable. Perfect under a cardigan, blazer, or dungarees, but also great just on its own with jeans or corduroy trousers.
And yes, those stripes… they really make it. You hardly have to do anything else with your outfit. Simple trousers, nice shoes, done.
Fit & styling
The Kite TRUDI has a slim fit. It is not oversized, but intended as a form-fitting layering piece. Are you between sizes or do you prefer a less tight fit? Then I would recommend choosing the larger size.
The ribbed structure allows the sweater to stretch comfortably while maintaining a slim silhouette. The sleeves are long and have ribbed cuffs, just like the neckline and hem, keeping everything neatly in place.
In terms of styling, this is a real autumn winner. Wear it with corduroy trousers for that great seventies vibe. It layers beautifully under a tank top or cardigan. And with dark blue jeans and ankle boots, you have an outfit you can wear all day long.
Material & wash instructions
The TRUDI is made from 100% organic cotton. That makes it soft, breathable, and ideal for anyone who finds wool too warm or itchy.
Wash the sweater inside out on a delicate cycle at 30 degrees. Use a small amount of detergent and don’t overload the washing machine so the rib structure stays nice. Do not tumble dry, as cotton usually doesn't benefit from that.
Lay the sweater flat to dry and gently pull it into shape after washing. It's best to store it folded in your closet so it doesn't stretch out unnecessarily on a hanger.
Sustainable & fair
Kite makes clothing with an eye for quality materials, wearability, and cheerful details. This sweater is made from organic cotton and produced in India.
And this is exactly the kind of item you can enjoy for a long time. Not just because it’s comfortable, but also because it has that little extra character compared to an ordinary basic. A layering piece, but one that deserves to be seen.
