Néve’s Mission
Our Mission is to provide our customers with high quality, functional, and stylish garments that represent a healthy lifestyle, and encompass sustainability and global manufacturing responsibility.
Quality - Néve's definition of an overused word...
Néve sweaters and accessories were born out of our passion for skiing, the outdoors and the quality experiences these adventures offer. From this passion comes a different definition of "quality," which is the essence of the experiences our customers have each time they wear a Néve sweater—the best ski run ever, an epic journey, an unforgettable encounter—memorable moments in a lifetime.
Although rarely as memorable as a great ski run, Néve hopes to leave our retail partners (many of which have become close friends), with a taste of this same enthusiasm and enjoyment.
BTW - If you have a special memory that involves a Néve sweater, please write and send pictures for our "Latest Adventures" section.
Product Quality
Without quality products, many would-be memorable experiences turn sour, which is why Néve is unyielding in the quest for rich fabrics and industry-leading quality control for our art-knits and sporty fashions. Néve sweaters and accessories are a challenge to produce to any standard, a task made more formidable with Néves’ stringent guidelines and meticulous attention to detail.
We guarantee 100% satisfaction with your Néve garment.
Function
The beauty of Néve natural-fiber sweaters lies in their ability to perform like dedicated "technical" garments without looking (or smelling) like you just stepped out of your home gym.
We use lightweight and breathable, ultra-fine Merino® wool for most of the sweaters in our collection. Wool has a reputation for being the best natural fiber to regulate body temperature, control odor and allow continuous air-flow to resist the clamminess that occurs when air is trapped.
Did we mention they don't smell? You, as well as those in your immediate vicinity, will appreciate this when you're hanging out in the bar after a full day on the mountain.
Style
Reminiscent of a simpler time, Néve sweaters and accessories are both functional and stylish.
"Really fun, vibrant colors, unique patterns, and shapely silhouettes—that's what I work hard to create. When you combine that with the cashmere-like feel of ultra-fine merino wool, you have the perfect sweater that's breathable and warm for a day on the slopes or stylish and flattering for a night on the town!" says Néve founder, Rhonda Swenson.
But don't just take our advice. Curt Geiger, VP of Descente North America says, "When it comes to snow-industry style, there's none better than Rhonda Swenson... she has a great feel for color coordination. We even rely on her input for our own snow sports gear."
Néve's focus has paid off with better than 90% sell-through at retail—an amazing rate in the snow sports industry.
