FAQs

What makes the yarn blend special?

The blend of baby alpaca, cashmere, and silk offers an exceptional combination of softness, warmth, lightness, and a luxurious drape, providing superior comfort and feel compared to single fibers.

Are the materials truly ethical?

Yes, the alpaca yarns are certified by the Responsible Alpaca Standard (RAS) and the wool yarns by the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS). These certifications ensure the welfare of the animals and sustainable land management practices.

How do I wash the Hana Jacket?

Hand wash in cold water using a detergent specifically for wool or cashmere, or opt for professional dry cleaning. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents.

Can I wear this jacket in the summer?

While lightweight, the natural fibers provide warmth. It is best suited for spring, autumn, and mild winter days, or as a layer indoors. It may be too warm for hot summer weather.

What does 'straight cut' mean for this jacket?

A straight cut means the jacket falls from the shoulders down in a relatively uniform width, without significant tapering or flair, ending at the hip.

Where are the Cortana garments made?

Cortana's knitwear, including the Hana Jacket, is meticulously made in small, specialized workshops located in the Italian region of Reggio Emilia.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels itchy or rough.

This is unlikely with the high-quality blend, but ensure it is properly washed according to care instructions. Sometimes, a gentle airing out can help fibers relax.

Pilling is occurring.

Pilling is a natural characteristic of fine natural fibers like cashmere and alpaca. Gently remove pills with a fabric comb or electric fabric shaver designed for delicate materials. Proper care can minimize pilling.

Jacket has lost its shape.

Ensure the jacket is always laid flat to dry after washing and is stored folded, not hung. Gently reshape the garment while damp if needed.

Care Instructions:
