Maille : panneaux tricotés en jauge 8 dans notre atelier de Beaussais-sur-Mer, laine filée et teintée par Biella Yarn (Italie).
La particularité : chaque panneau portait une petite irrégularité de tricotage — un fil mal pris, une maille marquée, un serrage inégal… — qui l'empêchait de devenir un pull. Plutôt que le jeter, nous lui donnons une seconde vie.
Confection : Atelier Rondinaud, manufacture de charentaises et mules depuis 1907, La Rochefoucauld-en-Angoumois (Charente).
Qualité : le produit fini est irréprochable — les pièces sont découpées dans les zones parfaites du panneau. Chaque paire est unique.
Discover Our Know-How: A Unique Breton Heritage
Since 1986 , the Baie des Caps workshop, located on the Emerald Coast in Brittany, has been the guardian of a unique know-how. Specializing since 1994 in the emblematic knit of the sailor's sweater , it perpetuates a tradition anchored in the maritime world, inspired by the sea and pleasure boating.

A Successful Transmission
In 2019 , the arrival of Geoffroy and Lucie de Pinieux marked a turning point for Baie des Caps. Their goal?

Today, a team of 10 qualified artisans ensures the knitting and 100% French manufacture of our sailor sweaters.
