A Letter From Michaela

From my hands to yours — on heritage, care, and the beauty of things made slowly.

I didn’t choose knitwear — it chose me. I learned to knit when I was four, sitting beside my mother in our home at the foot of the Austrian Alps. The rhythm of her hands, the soft sound of wool sliding — that was my first language of care.

I grew up surrounded by people who wore their stories: handknitted cardigans, embroidered aprons, mended socks. Life was slower then, and beauty was something you made. Years later, as a mother myself and far from home, I felt the need to reconnect — to my roots, to the women who came before me, to the craft that shaped my childhood.

When it came to creating my own brand, I wanted to design knitwear that reflects my lifelong fascination with one-of-a-kind pieces — patterns steeped in Alpine heritage, made with patience and soul. Designs that honor the past while living beautifully in the present.

Each Michaela Buerger piece carries that story forward. Every cardigan is a bridge between old-world know-how and today’s world — hand-knitted by women whose skill sustains their families, and whose work keeps a tradition alive.

Knitting, to me, is a quiet celebration of time and tenderness. A reminder that beauty doesn’t rush. Each stitch holds care, connection, and the poetry of human touch.

From my hands to yours,

Michaela
