a letter from our founder
This season we are highlighting adventurers. These women were pioneers, living life to the fullest and reminding us that women do blaze the trail. Adventure is defined as an unusual and exciting , typically hazardous, experience or activity. As I read the biographies of these women I couldn’t help but think about the role of adventure in my own life. In the last year where have I stepped over fear to do something I really wanted to do and
“What will you do
where have I been playing it safe?
with your one, wild
When I look at the “typically hazardous”
and precious life?”
part I know that most often the thing I want to do isn’t really hazardous, just outside my comfort zone. The
m a ry ol i v e r sept 10, 1935 – jan 17, 2019
last time I felt fear stopping me from doing something I wanted to do I called a dear friend and got the support I needed to go forward. It ’s a really beautiful thing when we can support each other to live our lives to the fullest .
Founder, Shibui Knits
summer 2019 Our Summer 19 collection patterns are named after adventurers and explorers. These are women we look up to, who our daughters look up to, and who we will teach our granddaughters to look up to. They are women who inspire us.
We celebrate their legacy as we continue to break the mold. The Summer 2019 collection features our newest color, Twilight , and Tar - a perennial favorite. Wear alone or layer to extend the season. Who doesn’t want an endless summer?�
