TWO DESIGNERS BEGAN A FRIENDSHIP OVER THEIR LOVE OF KNITWEAR. BOTH OF THEM WERE NEVER ABLE TO THROW ANY OF THEIR BELOVED VINTAGE KNIT PIECES AWAY.
AFTER OVER 20 YEARS OF FREELANCING AS KNITWEAR DESIGNERS FOR HOUSES SUCH AS BURBERRY, CHANEL, LACOSTE, LEMAIRE — THEIR INSPIRATION AND IDEAS MAINLY BASED ON VINTAGE KNITS AND UNIQUE FINDS FROM RESEARCH TRIPS.
THEIR ARCHIVES GREW ...
AND THEY THOUGHT ...
HOW NICE IT WOULD BE TO SHARE THESE GEMS WITH
FELLOW KNIT LOVERS AND PROFESSIONALS!
