Journal

Stories from the workroom, care notes for the pieces you own and the city that shapes how we dress.

    Our winter knits start with sheep on the islands west of Bergen. A day at the farm and the spinning mill.

  • A narrow cobbled lane between white timber houses in Bergen
    Stories

    Bergen in October
