This graphically refined MANUELA BEDFORD cardigan is distinguished by a restrained interplay of pattern and texture. The cardigan is made from 100% Peruvian alpaca wool, a natural fibre known for its heat-insulating properties and soft, supple wearing comfort. The result is a cardigan that feels cosy without becoming heavy.

The even pattern gives the design a calm, almost tactile appearance. The lightly contrasting trim along the neckline, closure and hem brings subtlety and finish together and emphasises the lines of the cardigan in a restrained way. The buttons add rhythm to the whole and support the design without dominating it.

This cardigan suits women who appreciate knitwear with nuance, balance and attention to detail. A carefully constructed garment that radiates calm and combines effortlessly with both light and warm tones in the wardrobe.

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.
