Fall 2020 Designer Collection

This Fall capsule collection by Lana Jois is full of texture: squishable rib going horizontally, vertically, and even diagonally (!), the drape of linen, and the contrast in gauzy mohair and lustrous silk. Join us in celebrating the beautiful designs by Lana Jois - neutrals or bright colors will flatter these dimensional fabrics equally well!

A dots-and-stripes slip-stitch pattern and easy oversized shape make Letitia Street House a trans-seasonal piece! Knit in Milo, the linen-wool content of the yarn gives the garment both lightness and a hint of rustic texture.
