The Little Prince sweatshirt itself is made from <strong>20% elastane and 80% polyester.<\/strong> On the <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pura Vida\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/doporucujeme\/pura-vida\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Pura Vida<\/a> website, they claim it&#8217;s made from the highest-quality material they could find on the market \u2014 and based on my experience below, I&#8217;d say that&#8217;s probably true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The inside has a soft, brushed lining, which means the Little Prince sweatshirt is surprisingly warm<\/strong> without being bulky \u2014 and that&#8217;s a real bonus. I wore it during October and November while hiking along the cliffs in Portugal, and at times I was genuinely too warm! Not something I expected from such a lightweight sweatshirt. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pura-vida-5423-700x467.jpg\" alt=\"Pura Vida\" class=\"wp-image-80755\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pura-vida-5423-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pura-vida-5423-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pura-vida-5423-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pura-vida-5423-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pura-vida-5423-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pura-vida-5423-1392x928.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pura-vida-5423-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pura-vida-5423.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pura Vida\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/doporucujeme\/pura-vida\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Pura Vida<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Well_the_Colours_Hold_Up_After_Washing\"><\/span>How Well the Colours Hold Up After Washing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I can say with confidence that, even though it&#8217;s a black sweatshirt, <strong>the colours don&#8217;t bleed.<\/strong> They remain <strong>vibrant and show no signs of fading.<\/strong> I always worry that when white and black are combined, the white will turn greyish after just a few washes.
