Collection: Knitwear

Hill Women's Cooperative Knitwear

Our fair trade knitwear collection celebrates the work of the Hill Women's cooperative in the Himalayan region of Northern India. Each piece is hand knitted using techniques passed down through generations, and every garment directly supports more than 700 women artisans and their families through stable, dignified employment.

The collection includes items such as the Potager's Vest in Green Crochet, Fisherwoman's Vests in Piglet and Buttermilk, and accessories like the Potager's Hat in Rustic Mocha. Each design highlights the precision and patience required for traditional hand knitting. The texture, weight, and structure of every stitch reflect the care of the craftswomen who create them.

Our approach remains grounded in measured, sustainable production. By continuing to use heritage hand knitting methods, we help preserve cultural knowledge while creating garments that carry a sense of depth and individuality. Because each piece is shaped entirely by hand, no two items are exactly alike. These subtle differences reflect the rhythm and presence of the maker.

This knitwear supports women living in mountainous communities, where home based work allows them to balance family responsibilities while earning a fair and reliable income. The cooperative is fully owned by its members, ensuring that payments reach the artisans without reductions from intermediaries. This structure strengthens families, supports education for children, and contributes to broader community wellbeing.

Each hand knitted garment represents more than craftsmanship. It carries the story of the woman who made it, her skill, her time, and her connection to a long tradition of mountain craft.
