Amimono
Posted Friday, November 30, 2007 at 09:53PM 
Amimono is a small Danish Company run by knit designer, Helga Isager. This self described ‘socially conscious knit wear company is dedicated to producing quality knit wear in all attributes; from materials used to designs and the production process. Manufactured in Denmark, Lithuania, and Sri- Lanka, the company ensures the presence of a healthy and safe working environment, and all the employees make a decent income. All the yarns used are made from 100% natural materials and the only use of synthetic fabrics is for durability or aesthetic purposes.
To ensure durability, materials commonly used include: Merino wool, pure silk, pure cotton, alpaca and kid mohair. By the way with very few exceptions, all the yarn is manufactured and environmentally approved in Denmark at the world famous Henrichsens Uldspinderi. The Amimono line is available at select boutiques alongside other renowned designers including Jessica Ogden, costume national and Marc Jacobs. The website has photos from the collection but no prices. Did I mention that, each season, they have an additional line “Amimono Klassik” which consists of hand-knitted designs available as ‘knit-kits’ for customers to put together themselves. (via)
