This graphically constructed MANUELA BEDFORD cardigan plays with repetition, contrast and texture. The cardigan is made from 100% Peruvian alpaca wool, a natural fibre known for its insulating properties and soft, airy feel. As a result, the cardigan wears comfortably close to the body without feeling heavy or bulky.

The pattern forms a rhythmic whole that radiates both calm and dynamism. The contrasting trim marks the lines of the cardigan and gives direction to the design, while the buttons visually anchor the overall look. Every detail contributes to a balanced composition in which nothing feels accidental.

A cardigan for women who appreciate knitwear with thoughtful construction and a clear visual language. A strong, versatile garment that does not blend into the crowd but subtly follows its own course.

The story behind the brand MANUELA BEDFORD
There are designers who create fashion, and designers who bring stories to life. Manuela Bedford does both.

Born in Peru, she grew up surrounded by colour, textiles and tradition. The soft fleece of alpacas, the dedicated handcraft of local artisans and the natural connection to the landscape shaped her understanding of clothing forever.

Later, Manuela emigrated to Germany. Together with her husband, she became one of the first pioneers to import Peruvian garments into Europe. What was still unknown to many – alpaca wool, handmade knitwear, distinctive patterns – they dared to introduce and give a stage. In doing so, they built a unique bridge between the Peruvian highlands and European wardrobes.

Today, Manuela continues to design her own garments, which are produced in Peru using soft alpaca wool. She sketches pieces full of character, colour and careful detail, which are then brought to life in Peruvian knitting workshops where craftsmanship is passed down through generations.

The result is unique knitwear pieces that you not only wear, but truly feel: warm, light, refined and filled with the story of two worlds.

With her work, Manuela Bedford brings fashion back to its essence: craftsmanship, connection and pure beauty.
