guell sweater

Amazing fit, beautiful sweater until I washed it the second time. For some reason this wool gets completely destroyed -shrunk in less than half and completely lost its shape and texture. I can no longer even wear this as it doesn't fit or move anymore ! Very disappointing and a waste of money

I love this sweater - it's super cosy and goes well with all of my high-waisted pants.

I have this in 3 different colours and love the large turtleneck style with the boxy looser fit -- perfect with high waisted bottoms. It ends up shorter on me than it is on the model (I'm a C in cup size) so if you're a bigger chested girlie I think this will end up looking quite cropped. Sleeves also are an inch or two shorter on me than it does on the model. Haven't personally had any issues with this shrinking in the wash. I roll my sweater up into a fitted mesh bag, wash it on gentle cycle (I let it soak in the machine for 10-15 minutes first to let the water fully permeate) & lay flat to dry. Also any kind of musty smell should go away once it's fully dried -- it's a smell that's common with washing full wool clothing! Overall love this sweater, but just wish it was a little longer!

Super soft and high quality fabric but would benefit from elasticity throughout.. VERY easy to shrink.

Fit small in comparison to how it looks in the photo, didn't hit at the same palce in the body, nor were the sleeves as long as I expected.

It shrunk even using cold water with wool

This sweater fits me perfectly. It’s so cozy and chic for winter. There’s a little pilling on it already (most of my wool sweaters do this) but other than that it’s great.

A large or extra large wasn’t available and I decided to take a chance with 2XL and the length is better, sleeves slightly long but it’s great! Now I have an XL in Caramel and a 2XL in Brown!

I love the Guell sweater. However, I noticed this year that the structure seems a bit flimsy in comparison to the Guell I purchased from 2 years ago as it seems more sturdy than this new one I just purchased. True to size though and I love the length. Not too short but not too long either for somebody that has a smaller waist and a booty.

As others have mentioned, it absolutely will shrink as soon as it touches water (even if you wash it how other wool items are typically washed) to the point it is unwearable. The neck is a different material and will look different than the body after washing. Obviously if you're buying a sweater this expensive, you want to wear it multiple times which comes with multiple washes.

This sweater is very casual, big and bulky. Cute if that is what you’re looking for but I was looking for a slimmer fit that I could dress up if I wanted to. 5’2” 110lbs and xs was perfect.

It looks great on my 13 years old daughter.

Wow, soon as this hits the water it transforms, and not in a good way. The neck remains the same but the body and sleeves shrink significantly. The sweater is no longer wearable.

I wash many Merino wool items in cold water and with a specific detergent. I have never had an item shrink so severely. I even sized up to account for the slight shrinking which could occur. I have tried stretching it, but it has become un-wearable. Not worth the headache. The online care instructions should say dry clean only because it can not handle normal Merino wool care.

Loved this sweater so much, and then hand washed in cold as instructed and it shrank SO much. I can no longer wear the sweater, which is unfortunate considering the price. I barely got a handful of wears out of it. It also gave off a funky smell when wet. I was planning on buying this sweater in multiple colours until this happened. If you do buy it, dry clean only.

It’s hard to review a sweater that never was delivered.

Cozy and gorgeous colour

Fabric and quality is great! I’m 5’4 and it is slightly cropped on me. Pairs nicely with high waisted jeans.

I honestly love love love this top so much but after I hand washed it COLD as instruction, it still shrunk into mini size. I did everything I can to restore it original form but nothing help. The sweater also let out bad odour after wash like moldy, plastic smell. Really not worth the price tag, and just only meant for DRY CLEAN. Do not touch water by any means!

I ordered this sweater in xxs my regular size and it fits and I really like the long neck. The colour on the website showed this sweater as a light grey, it is not. It is a very dark grey with a touch of purple - 'Heather Basalt Grey" so something went wrong when posting this item; I guess the wrong colour was shown instead of the ' Heather Basal Grey' colour which I would not have bought. It matches black and may be light grey so it is limited. The colour is not the most flattering for me as I am blond. Return or keep?... decided to keep it.

Shrunk to baby size and lost its beautiful texture with washing, despite a delicate cycle. Very disappointing for the price point. If you purchase, dry clean ONLY.

Love this sweater, however sizing has changed (as has that for Canberra and Montpellier) for me; my typical 2XS hit above my Effortless waistband- XS fits like the old 2XS and hits bottom of the high-waisted band part. Size changes after years of knowing my size (I didn’t grow in height or weight) makes online shopping a nightmare. Other than that, super warm, cute, comfy and doesn’t pill, will keep buying as new colours come out :)

The knit it nice. The colour is a rich brown. It’s not itchy. It’s quite a heavy weight. But be aware it’s really cropped.

Despite what the price might suggest this sweater is of extremely poor quality. It fits amazing and there's a great color selection but unfortunately it will shrivel and pull after one hand wash. I also noticed a horrible petroleum smell from washing which means the fabric is probably mixed with some petroleum by product. DO NOT BUY!

Really like the look of this on me but found it a bit itchy where it touches skin around the neck and sleeves. The knit also snagged on my bag the very first day I wore it, when I was trying to be very careful with it. Big fan of Babaton but for this price point I'd expect something a little more comfortable or a little less fragile.

I love this sweater! It's the perfect amount of cropped - you can wear high-waisted pants and it hits right at the waistline, so I'm able to wear it to work. The chunky knit is really cozy and super soft.

fits great, feels great, looks great!

I've bought this sweater 3 times now. It so soft, the perfect cut and goes with everything. The only thing (and its a big thing) is despite the wash instructions saying you can hand wash the sweater shrinks so much when you do. The first time I purchased it I used the hand wash cycle on the washing machine and it made it literally toddler sized. The second time I purchased I wore it a few times and then washed it by hand in the sink multiple times, The sink washing definitely lessoned the softness and shrunk it a little. Eventually from several hand washing the sweater being child sized again. Despite all this im still in love with it so I bought it again and will ONLY be dry-cleaning.

Love it !Can’t wait to wear it with my effortless pant.Also bought the Sherpa liner ,great outfit!

Looks great on me even if the turtleneck part is slightly itchy at times it protects my neck well

this sweater is so good!! I love the fit for an oversized crop that isn’t too cropped. Pair with a high waisted wide leg jean and you are good to go, 👌🏻, perfect length (IMO) not showing too much mid drift. I ordered the rich mocha brown colour and it’s beautiful!

Regretfully I can only give this 1 star. I love the way this sweater looks, the wool is soft, and it's so cozy, but unfortunately, it is just SO delicate. I've worn it three times and twice I've gotten a snag or a pull in the knit that cannot be fixed.
