Sophie Digard Bag coming soon

We are excited to advise that we will be proudly stocking a selection of exquisite croquette scarves, bags and necklaces by French designer Sophie Digard.

Since 1999 French designer Sophie Digard has been creating unforgettable, exquisitely beautiful hand crochet accessories. The incredible detail and delicacy necessary to achieve work of this quality and fineness is something to behold.

Digard uses single-ply merino wool from Australia – only, this provides the delicacy required – as well as raffia, linen and cotton velvet for embellishment. Yarns are dyed by hand using vegetable dyes in France. Each piece makes use of up to sixty different shades, plied together to create the subtle variation of tone and unique fingerprint of each piece. The fibres are then shipped to Madagascar where Digard employs local women to crochet and embroider. Digard works to fair trade principles: her workshops provide a valuable source of income to her employees whilst nourishing traditional textile skills.

At the beginning of her design process Digard looks to the natural world and artists such as Gustav Klimt for inspiration. Indeed, you do not have to look long at Digard’s trademark colour palette and pattern collection to see that these are textiles designed by someone with a painter’s eye. Held within the work are the stories of her childhood: growing up as an 'enfant sauvage'; travelling with her parents around the world; living and marvelling at the simple things that nature offers.

Launching October 2024.
