There are moments, in the weeks and months after a baby arrives, when you fold the things they've outgrown and put them away.
You fold them carefully, more carefully than anything else you own, and you place them somewhere safe. And years later, when you find them again, something happens that no photograph can quite replicate. You're back. Completely and suddenly - that room, that light, that feeling — the particular weight of that small person in your arms.
That's what these pieces are. Timestamps.
The physical form of moments you want to return to.
THE COLLECTION
Every Benmore piece is knitted and hand finished in Otago, New Zealand, from Italian spun merino and cashmere.
"I am absolutely thrilled with this beautiful hat. The quality is second to none. Congratulations on such beautiful garments."
"I adore the Benmore waistcoat because when my wee one is wearing it I know she will always have a warm chest. Its classic styling goes with everything and the beautiful wooden buttons means it's easy to put on her."
We just bought ourselves another bassinet blanket because we love them so much, and several to gift to friends. The quality of the merino/cashmere is fantastic, thick and soft.
Someone we'll never know knitted the first thing our son ever wore.
Now we knit for the ones arriving next, and the people waiting for them.
