Artistic trend

The use of eco-friendly fabrics and yarns: bio-natural fibers, environmentally friendly and recycled fibres, as well as environmentally friendly dyes and treatments, provide a new form of knitwear.

Comfortable pieces create a sense of everyday luxury: soft, skin-friendly, lightweight knit creates a sense of luxury with a comfortable, brushed wool fabric. Intarsia knits with terry and smooth treatment for a textured effect.

Knitted textures create an "imperfect" look: the trapezoidal float texture, the crack effect jacquard and the decorative enamel effect of the Fair Isles are all new.

Innovative weaving and patterns awaken classical craftsmanship: hand-knitted twisted textures create a heirloom style; vintage-inspired patterns and lace warp-knits with faded or twill yarns create a soft visual effect, as well as three-dimensional knit textures To emphasize the role.

"Artistic" palette

These soft midtones are included in the palette of the artisans, such as soft moss green and far space blue. Add a fresh, bright hue to create a modern and neat look. Bowie blue and cherry wood reveal a nostalgic feel, but it looks simple and sells modern life. Poplin pink and Williams yellow are acid colors, giving a nostalgic look. In the palette, the gray walnut color is matched with brown, blue and green.

Tonal matching

Classic knitwear has a “second skin” everyday comfort and understated luxury. Cashmere and Merino wool blends with cotton, silk and viscose to create a soft, double-faced knit. The fine stitch length and pattern are in soft tones. Application: Fine to medium-pitch accessories, tops, sweaters, one-piece clothing, cardigans, dresses

Classic retro style

Decorative patch

Application: Fine to medium stitch accessories, tops, sweaters, one-piece suits, cardigans

Irregular surface

The Japanese-style concept of silence is an imperfect aesthetic that inspires new surface effects.

Application: Fine to medium-pitch accessories, tops, sweaters, one-piece, cardigans, dresses

Seiko seam
