SANFTER JUNGE
A though guy with a supremely soft core!
The dog sweater your Iggy will love to slip into.
SANFTER JUNGE (or the gentle guy in English) wraps your Italian Greyhound in the finest materials and, like a lovingly protective hug, keeps it cozy and warm.
100% handmade from the finest and softest materials
How a mishap turned into an idea
Because, only the best is good enough for greyhounds as everyone certainly knowns, my mother one day thought to herself, "Why throw away a shrunken cashmere sweater that otherwise is perfectly fine, when it can be transformed into a cuddly soft sweater for our little Iggy?"
So we, a mother-daughter team from Switzerland who are very enthusiastic about Italian Greyhounds, developed the idea of giving used clothing a second chance - as handmade dog sweaters and dog jackets.
Upcycling - reuse instead of throwing away
We are convinced that although a garment no longer pleases or can no longer be worn, the fabric is perfectly suitable for another purpose.
For our dog wear, we make sure to only use materials of the best quality. Fabrics such as cashmere, alpaca, sheep and lambs wool or cotton are used for our sweaters. The jackets are made from quilted and down jackets.
When creating the new interpretations, we make sure to incorporate the individual character of the garment. This way unique and handmade pieces with lots of personality are created in our studio in Switzerland!
We choose the names for our "gentle guys" (the sweaters & jackets) to match the individual character or the characteristics of the upcycled garment.
Create your own - 100% handmade and absolutely fabulous
How do you ask? It's quite easy!
Send us your clothing that no longer fits or that you are tired of wearing. We then create a very individual dog sweater or dog jacket from exactly this piece of garment in our atelier in Switzerland, and thus upcycle your dust collectors.
In 4 steps to a unique dog sweater or jacket - this is how it works:
1. Measure your dog and enter the dimensions in the order form.
a. Chest: Measure at the widest point
b. Back length: neckline to tail
2. Enter the type, size and material of your garment in the order form.
(E.g. sweater, XL, wool)
Suitable garments: Sweaters, scarves, jackets, etc.
Suitable materials: Wool, alpaca, cashmere, cotton, polyester (jackets)
Note on materials: Wool fabrics should not be too large-meshed, loosely processed. The fabric should also be in good condition (not suitable: lots of holes, lots of lint, etc.).
If you are not sure whether your item of clothing is suitable, simply send us a photo of your item of clothing and also of your dog - info@sanfterjunge.com.
