We are so excited for you to discover this labor of love that has absorbed Carina for many years.

A beautiful and enduring way to dress that will set you apart in the most effortless way. Refined, elevated and so comfortable with an earthy elegance that inspires confidence.

Hand crafted with sustainable luxury yarns - We have a charming, ethical studio and a lovely team of mainly women in Lima, most of whom have been with Carina since 2009. In the early years Carina spent a lot of time innovating as what she envisioned was deemed “impossible” by the industry in Peru. The weight of the yarn she wanted to use for her original signature knit was too thick for the machines she was told. Baby Alpaca could not be felted she was told. In 2010, she created a “felted” Baby Alpaca by literally cooking swatches by hand on a Peruvian stove with Milena and Monica (Monica now runs the studio) who were her first team members there. Our felted Baby Alpaca is a now a mainstay, incredibly soft and light to wear and has a denser more comforting feel than cashmere. Addictive when you start wearing it. After years of discerning and innovating with the sustainable Alpaca and Organic Cotton yarns available in Peru, she created our signature finishes. Every texture was innovated in house during creative and determined visits to the studio. Her latest development our stunning Lamé organic cotton knitted with super fine gold and silver metallic threads.

These moments of discovery honed her instinctual approach to the way she designs and creates, and truly shines through in our unique collections.

• Pieces are knit one at a time on our still one and only knitting machine.
• Each style has its own unique washing and drying process that is completed when placed out to dry in the warm breezes of Peru.
• Sartorial finishes are added. Hand made ethical horn buttons with hand crochet loops. All edging knitted separately and linked - we don’t use the industry standard rib edgings. Seams are covered if visible. Endless labor intensive details that set each piece apart from what is out there crafted with love.
• Signature color shades inspired by Carina’s love of travel and interiors rather than typical fashion palettes are developed with our yarn supplier in the the stunning mountain town of Arequipa, the centre of the worlds luxurious Alpaca industry.

An infinitely buildable and addictively wearable Collection - The collection is simple, chic, contemporary and incredibly versatile. Our knits skim in the most unique and flattering way without clinging to the body. Our hero pieces are developed over a number of years and then remain in the collection. The Signature Knit Coat - the first piece of clothing Carina created remains our most coveted silhouette. We believe it is a piece that every woman should have in their wardrobe. All our textures and colors layer beautifully together creating unique looks for every client.

Carina Hildebrandt - Carina’s “nomadic” life has been filled with rich, cultural and international influences. A childhood in Hong Kong with intrepid traveller and collector parents. This led to a personal obsession with texture and instinctive nuanced approach to drape and silhouettes. She pulls from years of rich, textile inspiration rooted in refined and elegant British and European roots. The result is a point of view and collection that resonates with so many and has a richer soul than most.
