Button Up Vest | Opal

A neat v-neckline brings a sense of ease to our loose button-up vest. Timeless, easy throw on, baggy style with dropped armholes, to give plenty of room when wearing with shirts and sleeved dresses. This handmade piece is then finished with 3 wooden buttons.

Knitted in a pale melange yarn with hints of blue, green, pink & yellow. Just like an Opal Stone. There's so much depth and beauty in this shade!

This waistcoat is the perfect piece for layering and adding extra warmth when the clouds roll in and the wind picks up.

Our knitwear collection is made from pure new wool, a 100% natural yarn which we source from non-mulesing farms. New Wool is a resilient yarn that further softens and adapts to its owner over time. Wool is lesser known for its breathable properties, it regulates your temperature in all weathers. Wool is also biodegradable making it a much more sustainable choice, than synthetic fibres.

Materials & Provenance: 100% Pure New Wool, spun and dyed in Scotland & grown in South Africa. The yarn we use is mulesing free, find out more about mulesing.

Designed & hand finished at our Margate studio. Knitted by Kate in Ulverston, UK.

Model is a size 10 but has sized up for a looser, more relaxed fit.

Garment Dimensions:

UK 6-10: Bust measurement 100cm/39" | Length 52cm/21"

UK 12-18: Bust measurement 116cm/45" | Length 52cm/21"

Wash Care: Hand wash in warm water no higher than 30°C. Use a wool care detergent and add a drop of fabric conditioner for extra softness.

Soft yarns are liable to pill to some extent, even when using those of the best quality. To take good care of them remove any pills using a pilling comb.

ROVE is a beautiful knitwear brand founded by Rose Brown in 2013. Rose wanted to create quality, long-lasting knitwear manufactured in Britain using British spun wool. Now, the brand has evolved to a modern, and sustainable brand. They keep the impact of the clothing low by offering organic, natural, recycled, or biodegradable materials. ROVE is a real slow fashion brand that makes unique designs that you can enjoy for years.

Fair trade: The clothing and accessories from ROVE are all made in the UK, and the wool is also spun in the UK. The wool fleece comes from South Africa and Australia, is spun in Yorkshire, and is made into beautiful items in several factories in the UK. Most of their accessories are made in Manchester, in a factory that is audited by SMETA, to ensure good working conditions. The socks are made in Derbyshire in a hosiers factory that has been running for over a 100 years.

ROVE also works with some smaller factories, and freelance knitters. They visit all the factories before autumn for the new collections and can ensure good working conditions.

Environmentally friendly: Rove uses wool, GOTS certified organic cotton, and deadstock for their products. The wool is mulesing free, Oekotex 100 certified (free from harmful chemicals), and the wool from Australia is RWS certified, ensuring animal welfare.

Rove uses environmentally friendly dyes that are GOTS certified. The brand offers a repair service and also has a recycling program, so that you can send back your worn knitwear for a 10% discount. The products are shipped in grass paper mailers, which is more sustainable than paper from trees. It is also recyclable and composes much faster than normal paper.

Locally produced: The products are made in the UK and the material is also spun in the UK.

Good cause: ROVE supports several charities, such as the Family Food Bank, Crisis UK, and they are joining 1% for the planet. They also plant trees via Colourful Margate.
