Cotton Silk
The story

The yarn is a very fine, two-ply yarn (2/48 Nm) blend, ninety percent cotton and ten percent silk, and that last ten percent is what you feel. Silk gives the knit its dressed-up hand; the cotton keeps it comfortable enough to wear all day. We knit it at 12 gauge on two ends to give the knit more body. Washable in the machine on a delicate cycle, which is not something you can usually say about a silk blend.

Why choose it

For the days a knit has to look considered and still get worn without thinking about it.

01

Silk you can wash

A delicate cycle and a wash bag is the whole routine. No dry cleaner.

02

Cotton does the comfort

Ninety percent cotton means the blend breathes and takes daily wear instead of saving itself for occasions.

03

Soft touch silk

Silk provides a smooth, gentle feel against the skin without the rough or rigid texture of some plant-based fibres.

What you pay for

Magnus Half Zip Jumper: €109 here. €169 average market price.

Average market price is what a comparable piece costs from a brand that sells through other people's shops: department stores and multi-brand retailers. That price has to carry the brand's margin and the shop's margin, stacked. Ours carries one.

Margin is not profit. It goes to getting the piece to your door: shipping, returns, the warehouse. Then to running No Label: the team, the stores, the fit sessions, the photography. What is left goes into next season's fabric. On sale pieces there is often nothing left at all, because overstock is money sitting in a warehouse and we would rather it moved than marked up.
