Alanui in brief
Alanui is a Hawaiian word for "great path". The brand began with a single garment, inspired by a 1970s cardigan Carlotta Oddi found at a flea market in Pasadena, and every collection since has travelled between the American West and Hawaii. Carlotta is creative director and Nicolo is chief executive. New Guards Group held a stake from 2017, and in March 2025 the siblings bought it back. Read who Alanui is and whether Alanui is worth it.
The editor's guide to buying Alanui
Start with the Bandana Jacquard cardigan in cashmere, the piece most people mean by Alanui. Add a cardi-bomber if you prefer a shorter shape with high-waisted trousers, and a Sweet Winter jacquard jumper for everyday. Then choose a statement: a jacquard coat, the felted fringed blazer and a Looney Tunes cardigan. For quiet luxury, the Alanui Finest line keeps the Icon shape in plain cashmere and silk. See the Fall Winter 2026 edit and how to style Alanui.
