Believe me, I’m as sick of the word “timeless” as you are. But, when describing a sweater that’s been in production since 1960, and looks just as good now as the day it came out, well, few other descriptors seem as apt. The Crewneck and Cardigan Version sweaters from SNS Herning are meticulously woven, cut and sewn in Denmark from medium-weight Merino wool. Read More »

Some of the items I post, I already own. Some of the items I post, I don’t own, but want. And then some of the items I post, I don’t want, I straight-up covet. These fall into the latter category.

Fun fact: not only is organic cotton less harmful to the environment than conventional cotton, it’s softer too. In addition to being highly poisonous (to everything), chemical pesticides also break down cotton’s fibers, significantly reducing their smoothness.
