Lambswool is wool obtained from a young sheep's first shearing, producing fine, soft fibres with a naturally springy handle. It is warm and breathable and is commonly used for knitwear, coats and other cold-weather garments.

Cable knit is a knitted construction featuring raised, twisted or braided motifs created by crossing stitches. The cables form a distinctly three-dimensional surface and are usually set against a flatter knitted background. It is particularly common in substantial sweaters and traditional knitwear.

Founded in Paris in 1984 by Evelyne Chetrite, Sandro is known for a distinctly Parisian approach to contemporary fashion. The brand combines understated elegance with sharper, more modern details, drawing inspiration from art, music and the streets of Paris. Sandro later expanded into menswear under the direction of Evelyne's son Ilan Chetrite.
