Four pieces, one box, one very well-dressed baby: this set pairs the Rhodope Winters jumper with its matching hat, mittens, and booties, so a newborn's first winter wardrobe arrives already coordinated, right down to the last detail.
Each piece is hand-knitted by women artisans in Bulgaria from merino wool certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100, carrying the same geometric border throughout — a design rooted in Balkan folk knitting, once stitched by mothers and grandmothers into clothing made for their own children. The hat's stretch is built to fit comfortably across the whole first year rather than just a few weeks, the booties use Shooshon's Evergrow System with an adjustable drawstring for growing feet, and the mittens are simple thumbless mitts joined by a connecting string, so there's no losing one on a winter walk.
It's the kind of gift suited to occasions that ask for more than a card — a new arrival, a christening, a first birthday — something meant to be photographed at the time and quietly kept long after.
Arrives wrapped in a keepsake box, ready to hand over without extra wrapping needed.
Care: delicate or wool-cycle machine wash, cold water (max 30°C). Use a mesh laundry bag. Reshape and dry flat.
