A Letter From
the
Founders
Happy Spring! We all need more than a little hope and light right now. There are few places to escape the world’s turmoil, but we hope that this collection can provide solace and fulfillment during this period of uncertainty. We were lucky enough to capture this collection in Northern California, in the Redwoods and by the ocean, with our dear friends from Harper Point Photography. It was such a pleasure to curate this collection, featuring staple favorites of texture, cables, and even a bit of colorwork with a little help from our indie designer friends Emily Greene, Mary Anne Benedetto, Kirsten Kapur, Jen Peck, Lana Jois, Vicky Hsu, and Cheryl Toy. We leaned heavily on our springy little Weld in both garments and accessories, but there are a few hardy knits in Forge to keep you toasty and warm as we transition from winter to cool spring days. In these pages, find our Spring 2020 collection divided into two quintessentially NorCal stories — Part I: The Redwoods and Part II: The Coast — and let yourself be transported to a more peaceful place and time. With love, Meghan + Sloane
