Mens ribbed Shawl Collar wool Cardigan - Charcoal

The buttons for this cardigan are made from corozo, an eco-friendly material made from nuts of the tagua palm tree which grows in the equatorial rainforests of Central America. Each palm takes 15 years to mature and produce it's first nuts, before they are dried for 3 months and then sent to the UK to be made into buttons. Giving value to these trees gives the local population a reason to protect their forest, saving it from deforestation and high intensity agriculture. By using corozo buttons, we are not only creating a natural product, but also helping to protect the rainforest.
