Made by hand. Meant to be kept.
Hand‑knitted and embroidered entirely by hand over more than 50 hours and produced in small batches, the THEKLA cardigan carries the subtle mark of the artisan who made it.
The Thekla Cardigan in Lilac (Wood Violet) is a soft, luminous reinterpretation of Alpine knitwear — translated into a lighter, summer‑ready organic cotton. Rendered in a delicate violet hue inspired by wild alpine flowers, the piece balances structure and softness, tradition and ease.
Along the placket, hand‑embroidered floral details bloom in subtle contrasting tones, adding quiet color and life to the sculptural knit — a piece designed to be worn and kept over time.
Each Thekla cardigan is hand‑knitted using time‑intensive techniques that require more than 50 hours of skilled work. Its distinctive texture is created through a composition of:
• Geometric diamond‑knit panels
• Delicate openwork motifs
• Hand‑formed bobble details
• Intricate cable structures
These elements come together to form a richly layered, dimensional surface with depth and movement.
The floral embroidery is applied stitch by stitch by hand, giving every piece a unique artisanal signature. Produced in small batches, no two Thekla cardigans are identical — each reflects the precision and individuality of its maker.
