The Introduction: ALL Knitwear

I discovered ALL Knitwear through Of a Kind and haven’t been able to make a decision as to which hat to buy… we had our first legit snow yesterday, so I guess it’s time for me to make up my mind!

FROM THE BRAND:

ALL Knitwear is a small, vertically integrated knitwear label created by Annie Larson. The slow-growing, idiosyncratic collection of handmade sweaters and hats is an ongoing study of color and pattern realized in a series of simple shapes. Each sweater is organized to show the special rapport between its visual components. Operating on a made-to-order basis, Larson knits each piece in her studio before shipping to customers all over the world.

Makers Monday

Today is Makers Monday… a different take on Cyber Monday, if you will. To be completely honest with you, at first I wasn’t sure if I’d be sharing this shopping event… I love Shinola, the brand behind the event, but I wasn’t sure that the registered makers would be a fit for TAE. When I curate collections or seek out brands to share, the fact that the products are made in America is the final deciding factor, not the first, so I wasn’t sure what to expect with this list.

However, I was pleased to see some of my favorite brands on the list – and happily surprised to discover some new amazing brands. Above, my Makers Monday favorites!

and… if you are wondering… buying local does more than you think!
