Knitwear & Cashmere

Plate M-30 · 217 stores · 1–150 of 217 · curated ORBIS register

Programmable knitted fabrics are central to BYBORRE, the Amsterdam textile studio founded by Borre Akkersdijk and Arnoud Haverlag. FILA began as a Biella knitwear business in 1911, later developing the tennis clothing associated with its sportswear range. Piacenza combines wool and cashmere production with finished knitwear, carrying out spinning and knitting within its own facilities.

What makes great knitwear & cashmere?

This plate lists 217 shops in 39 countries. Paris has the most with 19, followed by Milan with 7. Among these shops, 15 sell online, going by their own descriptions.

Ask for the fibre and the ply: ask for the exact fibre and the yarn weight rather than judging softness by hand alone.

Ask where it was knitted: ask whether the piece was hand-knitted, hand-framed or machine-knitted, and where.

Ask how to wash it: ask for the care instructions and whether the shop offers repairs.
