The difference

Why knitted beats printed

A printed sweater is a sweatshirt with ink on it. The motif sits on the surface; it cracks in a winter, fades in two, and feels like plastic where it matters.

A knitted jacquard is the motif. The ribcage, the web, the moons: they are made of yarn, worked into the fabric on industrial flat-bed machines. They cannot peel off, because there is nothing on top. Pattern and garment are the same object.

Our pieces are produced in an Italian knitwear atelier that has been doing exactly this, and only this, for forty years. The machines are serious, the hands are older than most goth bands, and every garment is knitted when you order it, not warehoused.

It takes 2 to 3 weeks. Eternity can wait that long.

The Atelier

Forty years of wool. Zero years of prints.

Family-run, flat-bed jacquard machines, and hands older than most goth bands. This is where your piece is born.
