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.
LA COLLECTION
Every Benmore piece is knitted and hand finished in Otago, New Zealand, from Italian spun merino and cashmere.
"Je suis absolument ravie de ce magnifique chapeau. La qualité est inégalable. Félicitations pour de si beaux vêtements."
"J'adore le gilet Benmore car quand ma petite est dedans, je sais qu'elle aura toujours la poitrine au chaud. Son style classique va avec tout et ses magnifiques boutons en bois le rendent facile à lui enfiler."
Nous venons de nous acheter une autre couverture pour couffin parce que nous les aimons tellement, et plusieurs à offrir à des amis. La qualité du mérinos/cachemire est fantastique, épaisse et douce.
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.
