ARTISAN MADE

THE MAKING OF MOSS —

From day one, we chose to step away from mass production. Instead, we’ve built lasting partnerships with knitting collectives and master artisans across Peru. For us, the process is everything; it’s about the skilled hands that craft each piece and the communities we support.

We’re so proud to share their stories with you.


HAND KNITS 

Our hand-knits are the work of the Sisi Wasi Association—a collective of women based in the vibrant district of San Juan de Lurigancho.

This partnership supports our artisans to earn a living wage from home, offering the flexibility to balance their craft with family life. Bi-weekly gatherings go beyond knitting progress and quality checks; they are a vital time for connection and mutual support.

MANUAL MACHINE KNITS

Handcrafted in Chorrillos, a coastal district of Lima, our alpaca wool knits are the work of Omar—a master artisan who has dedicated over 16 years to perfecting his trade.

In his home-based workshop, Omar operates traditional manual knitting machines with a level of precision and patience that only decades of experience can bring. This partnership gives Omar creative freedom while maintaining a balance with parenthood. Every piece he produces is a testament to the quiet art of slow fashion and technical mastery.

ELECTRONIC MACHINE KNITS

For our seasonal cotton knits, we partner with the skilled team at Incalpaca in Arequipa. This partnership allows us to bridge the gap between innovation and tradition.

Using advanced electronic knitting technology alongside time-honoured finishing techniques, each garment is crafted through a "fully fashioned" method. By knitting every piece to its exact shape and carefully linking by hand, we ensure a superior fit and lasting comfort—while significantly reducing material waste.

The strength of Incalpaca lies in its people—62% of whom are women. This creates a workplace grounded in equal opportunity and community.
