82% wool, 18% cashmere · Soot, Ink, Sterling
The Cashmere Wool Turtleneck Sweater & Trousers Set is knitted from 82% wool and 18% cashmere. The turtleneck sweater has a high ribbed collar and a slightly loose, short cut that lifts the waistline. The trousers pull on, with a built-in elastic band in the ribbed waistband, and open into a slight flare from mid-thigh that falls over the top of the shoe. The pieces are sold separately, so you can buy the sweater, the trousers or both.

Care
Dry clean.
Worn together in one colour, or apart with the pieces you already own.
Materials & Care
Every Aelse piece begins with the material. We work in leather tanned to soften with wear, suede, cashmere, wool and alpaca chosen for the hand, silk, linen and ramie that breathe, and slow beauty made from botanicals. Natural where it can be, considered where it can't — chosen to last and to be kept.
Made to Order Policy
Made-to-order work is created with care, intention, and mutual trust.
If a return is requested, the item must be returned and received in its original condition before a refund is issued. Refunds cannot be processed while an item remains with the client.
To protect the integrity of our custom process, future commissions are offered at our discretion.

What women keep telling us
Worn, and not let go of

Small batches. Scarce fabrics.
The Aelse Difference
Every Aelse piece is created in small batches — shaped by careful hands, scarce fabrics, and techniques that honor where they come from. Clothing that stays with you through shifting seasons, restless cities, and the many versions of you.
Longevity before novelty
Aelse is not priced for impulse. It is priced for women who choose with intention.
Pieces that learn you
Leather that softens, knits that settle, fabrics that remember your touch. A piece becomes yours because it stays long enough to hold your story.
Minimal waste, meaningful production
Some pieces are crafted on demand. This lowers excess, avoids landfill cycles, and protects the integrity of our makers.
For women who move — through cities, seasons, and selves. Who repair what they love, and understand that longevity is its own kind of luxury.
A considered timeline
Because our pieces are made slowly, some orders take a little longer. A few weeks now means years of wear later.
Small-batch quality
We work with ateliers, cultural partners, and independent makers who specialize in long-lasting craft.
A fit made for you
Share your measurements at checkout — we tailor our recommendations to reduce returns and ensure a piece you'll keep.
Scarcity with honesty
When fabrics and materials run out, we don't replace them. Some pieces won't return.
Questions, answered
How to style turtleneck sweaters?
Wear the sweater and trousers together as a one-colour outfit for an easy cold-weather look. Or wear the turtleneck on its own under a blazer or coat, or tucked into trousers with a belt.
How to wear a turtleneck?
Wear it close under a blazer or a long coat, tuck it into high-waisted trousers with a belt, or let it fall loose over a slim skirt. The collar frames the face, so small earrings are all the jewelry it needs.
Are turtlenecks in style?
Yes. The turtleneck is a long-standing cold-weather staple, and a plain one in a neutral colour looks current from one winter to the next. As a matching set with the trousers, it makes a complete outfit in two pieces.
What to wear with light grey trousers?
Light grey trousers sit well with soft neutrals such as cream, camel and white, and with black for more contrast. In this set the trousers come in Sterling, a light grey, with the matching turtleneck, and a camel coat on top finishes the look.
What is a turtleneck sweater?
A turtleneck sweater is a knit with a high, close collar that covers the neck. This one is knitted from 82% wool and 18% cashmere, with a high ribbed collar, and has matching flared trousers, sold separately.
