Description & fit
One of a kind gilet – Sustainable Slow Fashion
This oversized one of a kind gilet is a truly unique piece to wear. This version is slightly shorter in fit than most of the others. Handmade by me in my studio in Middelburg, made entirely from high-quality deadstock offcuts of wool. Each gilet exists only once and is designed for lovers of sustainable fashion, slow fashion and bold style.
The gilet – or you could also call it a bodywarmer – has an oversized unisex fit and a rugged yet soft look thanks to the combination of fit, fabric and colour choice. Because I only use leftover fabrics, every design gets its own story and texture. The gilet is finished with bias binding that I made myself from offcuts of gingham cotton. No mass production, but conscious fashion that stands for creativity, craftsmanship and love for people and the planet.
Sustainable fashion with a story:
In a world of fast fashion, this little gilet is a conscious choice for sustainable clothing. By giving leftover materials new life, you help reduce textile waste and support a fairer, more local fashion system.
Price: €159,95

Exchanges & returns
How does it work?
Would you like to exchange or return something? No problem: within 14 days of receiving your order, email the following information to info@lzwaan.com:
- your first and last name as on the invoice, and your order number;
- which garment you'd like to exchange (and for what) or return;
- briefly why the garment wasn't right – maybe you're not the only one, and I can do something about it.
After your email, you have 14 days to send the garment back in its original condition, at your own cost, to:
ZWAAN
Lange Geere 4
4331 LX Middelburg, the Netherlands
Please note
- Please return the garment neatly, with the hang tag still attached.
- Return shipping is at your own cost. The purchase price and the shipping costs from ZWAAN to your address will be refunded within 14 days of your return notification.
- Of course you may try the garment on, but please return it undamaged – I check this on arrival.
- Leave the tag on while trying the garment on and only remove it once you're sure you're keeping it. Without the tag I can't accept an exchange or return.
- If a returned product is damaged, compensation may be charged.
Packaging
- Open the packaging carefully so it can be reused. I think it's a shame when boxes aren't reused – for larger orders I often give boxes a second life myself.
- Sending something back? If possible, use the original packaging and tape it securely.
- Write the return address on a note that you can stick over your own address.
You'll find all details in the shipping policy, under exchanges & returns and in the terms and conditions.

Lara maakt de fijnst zittende broeken die ik ooit heb gehad, van een hele mooie stof.
Ze zijn beiden al vaak gewassen en zien er nog prachtig uit, ik ben er heel blij mee!
Ik draag het veel, blijft in goede pasvorm en zit als gegoten. Heerlijke zachte stof en nog duurzaam ook.
Heb twee stuks van Lara en bij beide is de pasvorm super en de stoffen heerlijk zacht en comfy. Aanrader!
Hele leuke diverse kleding! Duidelijk met liefde gemaakt.
