ROMANCE - tie it closed, or let it fly
A long kid mohair cardigan with knitted ties set high, at the chest rather than the waist. Pull them and it draws into a soft wrap; leave them loose and it falls open and flares - 90 cm around the bust, 120 cm at the hem.
Fine enough to see the light through - it reads as a haze rather than a layer. It stays in rotation all year: over a slip dress in town, over a swimsuit on the sand, under a coat when the year turns.
Three real sizes, S to L, not one-size-fits-all. Folds into a bag and comes out without a crease.
Every panel of this piece is knitted to shape on its own - fully-fashioned, never cut out of a length of knitted fabric. The panels are then hand-linked: a person feeds the open stitches onto the linking machine one loop at a time, so the seams stretch with the knit and lie flat instead of pressing on you.
It is hand-finished - hand-steamed over a shaped pad and washed before it leaves the workshop, so it arrives at its true size and stays there. The yarn is spun in Italy.
I design every piece myself, and it is knitted in a small workshop here in Lithuania - a few at a time, never off a production line.
Every piece passes through my hands before it is packed - I check each one myself before it goes out.
It arrives in a plain brown box with the care card inside and nothing else - no filler paper, no leaflets. That is a choice, not a saving - I would rather use less than print something that is made to be thrown away.
Colour - black.
