MM Knitwear Studio

Product dESIGN & consulting for slow fashion brands
We partnered with Felicia Zivkovic to create bespoke knitwear for her brand Proche. We took inspiration from vintage textiles and sourced Peru's softest baby alpaca wool. We worked with a local co-op of talented artisans in Puno, Peru, to produce her first knitwear collection. We created beautiful pieces meant to be passed down for generations. Our team was responsible for everything from managing the project to creating tech packs and bringing the designs to life. We put a lot of care and attention into every detail so each piece would have its own unique personality. In the end, we were able to launch a successful collection that really connects with people emotionally.

At MM Knitwear Studio, we are thrilled to introduce you to The Knotty Ones, an extraordinary brand that creates each luxurious piece by hand in Lithuania with care and precision. We designed sweaters that are true works of art, taking an impressive five to seven days to produce by talented female artisans. The textured braided design begins at each cuff, weaving its way up the sleeve and crossing over the front and back for an eye-catching effect. Made with cruelty-free baby alpaca and OEKO-TEX-certified organic pima cotton, these slouchy sweaters are incredibly cozy and perfect for those who value comfort and sustainability. We are proud to have these knits sold and featured at Goop, which shares our passion for quality, and ethical fashion.

We collaborated with Casa de Stela, a sustainable fashion brand founded by Jess Bercovici in Guatemala, to create a 7-piece cozy knitwear collection. The collection includes sweaters, cardigans, and accessories made with the softest, ethically sourced baby alpaca wool from Puno, Peru. The pieces are handmade by a female co-op of skilled artisans in Peru. We designed and oversaw the collection's production, ensuring high-quality standards were met. Our collaboration aims to promote sustainable and ethical fashion while celebrating the cultural heritage of Peru and Guatemala. Each piece has a unique story behind it, from the inspiration to the creative process and the artisans who brought it to life. We are proud to support female artisans and promote conscious consumerism. We hope that our collaboration inspires others to choose products that positively impact the environment and communities involved in production.

We were over the moon when The Knotty Ones approached us with the idea of a Mama and Mini cardigan. We knew it was a chance to create something really special. We got straight to work, using the softest, highest-quality yarns to create a classic design that was both stylish and practical for busy mamas and their little ones. With the technical details sorted, we got to see the finished product and were blown away. The Mama and Mini cardigan was even better than we had imagined - luxurious, comfortable, and the perfect fit.

For the Fall 2020 season, we collaborated to create a capsule collection with the current needs of our world in mind. With many of us working, playing, and gathering from home, we wanted to design pieces that were not only stylish, but also warm and comfortable.To achieve this, we used extra-fine merino wool that was sourced from Italy through cruelty-free methods. We also made sure that the entire collection was ethically made in Lithuania, to ensure that our environmental impact was minimal.The resulting capsule collection features a range of cozy and stylish pieces that are perfect for the Fall season. From chunky knit cardigans to soft, oversized scarves, every piece was designed with both comfort and fashion in mind.
