Alanui in Germany, France, the Netherlands and Switzerland
After Italy, Alanui's biggest European markets are Germany, France and the Netherlands, where shoppers look for the same thing: a long, fringed jacquard cardigan made in Italy. This guide converts Alanui sizes for each country, picks the pieces that suit northern winters and explains shipping from the Alanui collection at Coveti.
Key facts
- Germany, France and the Netherlands follow Italy in demand
- Alanui S is a German 34 and a French 36
- The Sweet Winter jumpers suit Nordic-style winters
- Coveti ships across Europe by DHL and FedEx
Germany, Austria and Switzerland
German shoppers search for the Alanui Strickjacke, and more broadly for a long cardigan, a cashmere Strickjacke and the Norweger pullover, the Nordic patterned jumper that peaks before Christmas. Alanui's answer is the Sweet Winter jacquard, which the brand describes as a Fair Isle-inspired twist on Scandi knitwear: try the Sweet Winter Sweater in Chalk Multicolour. For the Alps, the Sweet Winter Turtleneck in Onda Multicolour goes under a ski jacket.
France
In France the gilet long and the pull jacquard are the big searches, with the gilet cachemire close behind. The Alanui gilet à franges, the Bandana Jacquard Cardigan in Onda Multicolour, is all three in one: long, jacquard and pure cashmere. Parisian style keeps it simple, with straight jeans and ballet flats.
The Netherlands and Belgium
Dutch searches for Alanui focus on the cardigan and the Alanui vest. The Giorgio Armani for Alanui Waistcoat in Navy from the Giorgio Armani capsule is the tailored option; for a knit, the Bandana Jacquard Cardi-Bomber in Canvas Multicolour works on a bike in a way a long cardigan does not.
EU size conversion
| Alanui | XS | S | M | L | XL |

| Italy | 38 | 40 | 42 | 44 | 46 |
These come from Alanui's own size guide. Belgium and the Netherlands generally follow French sizes; Switzerland and Austria follow German sizes.
