Pacha Textiles works alpaca and sheep wool into highland clothing in Huancavelica, with shawls and ponchos among its handmade pieces. Paul & Shark offers performance knitwear and outerwear from its Varese base, using Typhoon technology for water resistance in relevant garments. Petit Bateau brings French cotton basics into the selection, following the house's origins as Pierre Valton's hosiery factory in Troyes.

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.
