A Hand-Knitted Tribute to craftsmanship, life and abundance.

Lena Hoschek × Michaela Buerger

For the 20th anniversary of Lena Hoschek, a special collaboration was born — a meeting of two Austrian hearts with a shared devotion to craft. Michaela Buerger, the Austrian-born, France-based designer known for translating her homeland’s hand-knitting traditions into modern heirlooms, joins Lena in celebrating the rituals of slow, sensual making.

Together, they created a limited-edition cashmere cardigan:
hand-knitted in 100% cashmere and brought to life with dozens of tiny embroidered stories — flowers and strawberries, mushrooms and bees, hearts, smileys, and gentle skulls woven in as little secrets. Each piece is a world of its own, a quiet poem held together by hours of human touch.

Only 25 cardigans exist.
Just 20 are available online at lenahoschek.com and in the Lena Hoschek boutiques in Vienna and Graz.

An artifact of memory, humor, and devotion — made slowly, made honestly, made to keep.

A love letter to craft, heritage, and the beauty of things made slowly.

From My Hands to Yours

I grew up surrounded by women who made things with their hands — who measured time not in minutes, but in stitches. Michaela Buerger was born from that same rhythm: a devotion to handknitting, to preserving Alpine techniques, and to creating garments that carry warmth, memory, and soul.
Each piece is made with care by skilled women artisans — not just to be worn, but to be lived in, repaired, and loved for years to come.
