wear it as you like it
The Every-Which-Way Wrap
Featherlight mohair. Chunky, snuggly wool. Not a likely pairing, perhaps — but together? Magic. This wrap has a mind of its own (and luckily, it’s a very stylish one). Thanks to its unique, clever shape, it can be worn every which way — draped, wrapped, twisted, or casually thrown over your shoulders with just the right amount of flair. No two wearings need ever look the same.
This is a one-size knitting kit that’s as easy to make as it is fun to wear — and it comes beautifully packed, ready to gift, with clear, friendly instructions to guide you along. (No cryptic knitting hieroglyphs here.)
This little sketch shows the basic dimensions — simple, straightforward, and best of all, absolutely no sewing required. Which is just as well, really… because who actually enjoys that bit? The shape does all the work, you just knit, wear, restyle and enjoy.
This kit has got that rare talent for keeping you warm when the sun dips behind a cloud and suddenly it’s not quite summer anymore. Like a portable sunset — cosy, golden, and always ready.
So go ahead — style it, flip it, swirl it, live in it.
Wear it as you like it
Time to style
Let’s talk styling — one of our favourite looks is the dramatic long back. Simply position the narrow stripe around your neck, and voilà: the fabric cascades down your back in an elegant sweep.
swishy, walking-through-a-field-of-wildflowers energy
It’s effortlessly graceful, perfect over jeans or a summer dress, and gives you that swishy, walking-through-a-field-of-wildflowers energy. One clever construction, endless moods — just twist, turn, and wear it as you like it.
It creates a gentle drape at the front, almost like a waterfall
From the front, the long-back style is just as striking. With the narrow stripe resting around your neck, the fabric gathers and flows softly around the shoulders, falling into a relaxed, flattering line. It creates a gentle drape at the front, almost like a waterfall, with just enough swing to feel dramatic — but never fussy. You get shape without structure, softness without bulk. It’s that perfect balance: a little mysterious in the back, effortlessly cool in the front. Whether you’re layering it over something minimal or letting it be the star of the outfit, it always looks like you’ve just stepped out of a beautifully styled daydream.
The short back
Time to rotate
For a completely different look, try wearing it with the short back. Simply rotate the piece so the narrow stripe sits along your lower back — this brings the length and drama to the front while keeping things clean and cropped behind.
quietly clever
This is a brilliant option for showing off a longer top underneath, or for a more sculptural silhouette that still feels soft and wearable. The armholes are placed just right to allow this rotation without any fuss, giving you yet another way to make the most of the design. Elegant, easy, and quietly clever — this is the poncho that keeps on giving.
Time to fly
And now for the twist — quite literally. To create this look, simply rotate one half of the piece lengthways by 180 degrees, so that what was once the inside becomes the outside on one side. This gentle transformation creates a graceful twist between the armholes, adding sculptural folds and a touch of intrigue.
the magic
And here’s the magic: if you hold each end out wide, the shape unfurls like butterfly wings — soft, symmetrical, and full of movement. It’s a look that feels both wrapped and free, structured yet flowing. All from a simple shift — not just in the piece itself, but in the way you choose to see and style it.
playful shift
And here’s the back to front — slip your arms through the front openings for an easy, almost apron-like drape. The magic happens behind you, where you fasten it your way — buttons, or belt — whatever feels right that day. It’s another playful shift in how you wear the piece, turning simple into something uniquely yours. Effortless, versatile, and endlessly inviting.
Who says you need a plan
Funny thing — we never designed this with the back-to-front style in mind. It just happened while we were playing around on the shoot! But wow, what a happy accident. Sometimes the best styles come from a little unexpected twist. So now it’s yours to make into whatever you dream up — buttoned, belted, wrapped — all the ways you want to wear it. Who says you need a plan when creativity takes the lead?
