Ah, finally! A link to where these super sweet sweaters came from. This photo caught my eye and has been floating around the Internet for about a week now without attribution or source link (don’t you just hate that?), but I finally found some info on the Craftzine blog. 

The sweaters are apparently completely handmade, hence the $400+ price tag. I looked through the catalog (here), and I love that each item has a handwritten tags. There is also a photo of an old lady knitting one of the sweaters. Great sweaters made by grandmas are the best!

Going back to Craftzine, I have a bit of problem with them saying that the cost is an incentive to make the sweater yourself. If this had been a factory-made, mass-produced product, then yeah, $400 is unreasonable. But an actual person (a seasoned knitter, no less) sat there and knitted all these sweaters and hats, counted every stitch, and fussed over every inch of yarn, making the price tag worth all those hours. Come on, Craftzine, you know what I’m talking about. A lot of love, effort, and frustration go into knitting a big sweater like this. Don’t tell people to rip it off something awesome to save a few bucks.
