For Amanda Brooks, this collection is a tender nod to her childhood in the 1980s — memories of decorating the house, cooking, and preparing for friends, family, and neighbors to gather in the soft glow of the holidays.
We're proud to weave our handknit artistry into that nostalgia, turning those sweet, wintry memories into pieces you can wear and cherish.
Working with Amanda is always an exchange of imagination and heart. Her creative world, shaped by the English countryside, finds a natural rhythm with my Austrian heritage, where Knitting has always been both necessity and ornament — made to warm, but also to adorn. Together, we merge English charm with Alpine soul.
Each design begins as a shared idea — we dream, sketch, and choose the perfect yarns and colors to capture the season's feeling. I still knit the first sample of every new style myself, refining shape and detail until the piece feels alive.
Once ready, our designs are brought to life by women's knitting collectives in Romania, where time-honored craftsmanship and modern livelihoods intertwine. These women, many of them mothers, knit from home — turning wool into independence, beauty, and care.
The result is a collection of precious hand-knitted and embroidered sweaters, each one designed in collaboration with Amanda Brooks — pieces that carry the warmth of memory and the magic of handmade tradition.
Whether chosen for yourself or as a heartfelt gift, these knits embody what the holidays mean to us: connection, craftsmanship, and the simple luxury of time well spent.
Knitted from 100% wool and featuring jacquard pine trees and embroidered holly on the front, with a subtle single cable knit on the arms and back.
