DARUMA | Cosmology

For this collection, Daruma collaborated with two of their favourite designers, Kiyomi and Sachiko Burgin.

With their unique individual perspectives on the theme “Heavenly Bodies,” they created pieces with inspiration from the Milky Way, aliens, fluffy weightless textures, and more.

The eight cosmic knitwear designs in this collection are playful, heavenly, and super cozy.

Cosmology has now sold out, find other titles from Daruma and amirisu HERE.

POM POM 42 | The Art of Abundance

It’s no secret that, when it comes to colour, texture, and pattern, Pom Pom are maximalists through and through! This season, they have embraced their natural instincts and curated a knit and crochet collection inspired by abundance.

The result is 11 glorious designs with immense visual impact, highly satisfying and tactile motifs, which echo the intricate aesthetic of the Arts and Crafts movement. The patterns are mesmerising, romantic, and somehow embody the wondrous generosity imbued in the act of making.

The issue features an article by Aja Barber, an eminent figure in the pushback against fast fashion, who encourages us to think more about the clothes we pair with our handmade items. Spend a golden afternoon reading an interview with embroidery extraordinaire, Tessa Perlow, and using Ella Hawkins’ biscuit decorating tutorial to make confectionery which looks like your knitting.

*Issue 42 has now sold out.
