The Alps don’t stop at the border. Neither does their craft.

This late summer, our journey through the Alps takes us to Bavaria, to Rottach-Egern at Tegernsee, where MICHAELA BUERGER is delighted to be presented at APROPOS The Concept Store.

A meeting of Alpine perspectives: alongside A N N I N A , ELIZA WEISS jewelry | Design Schmuck and Studio Van Der Zee , our handknits tell their own story of the mountains, one rooted in Austrian tradition, but translated for today.

As APROPOS so beautifully writes, for us it all began with a childhood memory: long winter evenings at the foot of the Austrian Alps, wool running through my mother’s hands. Years later, those memories still find their way into every piece, through traditional stitches, folkloric motifs and silhouettes reimagined with a modern eye.

Because memory doesn’t have to stand still to be preserved.

Thank you, APROPOS The Concept Store , for bringing these different Alpine voices together. We hope those discovering Michaela Buerger in Rottach-Egern these days will find something to wear now, keep for years, and perhaps one day pass on.

Summer stays. The cardigan comes back.

Late August, when mornings turn a little cooler and the evenings ask for an extra layer.

Our Alpine Heat Cardigan, handknitted in black wool and embroidered with a tiny Alpine world: mountains, flowers, a house beneath the peaks.

A little landscape to wear, and perhaps a quiet reminder of summer days spent somewhere else.

Made by hand. Meant to be kept.

Seven photographs, roughly sixty years of Salzburg.

The two women on the cover, those enormous black taffeta bows are headdresses, stiffened and wired into shape. A woman's cap was the most eloquent thing she wore: its form and colour could signal her town, her standing, even whether she was married. This is that language at its most theatrical, dressed up for a formal portrait around 1925.

Swipe on and the register keeps shifting. A farm family in 1870, look at the seated women's bodices over full striped and checked skirts, worn short by our eye, the weight of the pleats carried on the hips. In the milk girl you see the everyday version: dark buttoned bodice, long apron, a pouch at the waist, dressed for a job she did before dawn. The Gastein man is the male silhouette in full, the tall stiff hat, the short dark jacket, the embroidered waistcoat with its metal buttons, breeches and white stockings, the fine "short" that authorities once scolded farmers for wearing. Three young women in 1905, the aprons and lace collars now matched and deliberate, the festive look settling into something you'd recognise as a costume rather than their clothes. Then the 1930s festival trio: silk jackets, a pipe, an umbrella; dress worn for pleasure and company.

And the last one: a couple at their golden wedding. Fifty years married. Her embroidered apron and beaded bodice, his feathered hat and Sunday jacket with a flower pushed into the lapel.

Look at them together and you can feel something shift across the frames, from clothes people simply wore, to clothes people wore for something, to clothes worn because they looked wonderful. None of it is fake. What changed was never the cloth. It was the reason.

This was never a costume. It was a life.

The full letter, where the word Tracht actually comes from, goes out this morning.

A cardigan with places to go.

We love seeing how our knits find their way into someone else’s wardrobe, mixed with personal favourites, worn a little differently, made completely their own.

And now we’re curious: where would you take yours?

The flowers were never only decoration.

Every 15th of August, across the Alpine region, an old tradition returns.

For Mariä Himmelfahrt, herbs and flowers are gathered from meadows and gardens and tied into a Kräuterbuschen for the traditional Kräuterweihe.

The composition changes from valley to valley: seven herbs, nine, twelve, sometimes as many as ninety-nine.

A rose for Mary. Königskerze. Yarrow. Arnica. Chamomile. St John’s wort. Peppermint.

Then they are carried to church and blessed.

But perhaps the most beautiful part happens afterwards.

The bouquet comes home.

Traditionally, it was hung to dry in the Herrgottswinkel and kept throughout the year. In Alpine folk belief, the blessed herbs were thought to protect the house, the family and the animals from illness, storms and misfortune. During thunderstorms, a few dried leaves might even be placed into the fire.

Perhaps this is how traditions survive: we carry them home.

The color of a late summer afternoon.

Lilac flowers. Warm light through the trees.
A small hand holding on.

Some pieces belong to a season.
Others become part of the memories we carry from it.

Handknit in lilac, for little ones and grown-ups.

A cardigan for August mornings.

The Karla, knitted in deep blue cotton and scattered with tiny embroidered flowers.

For mornings in the garden, sleeves pulled over the hands, when summer hasn’t quite decided what the day will become.

Made slowly, stitch by stitch.

Some places never really leave you.

A few summer days back in Carinthia, in the south of Austria, where I grew up.

Summers here were always spent by the lake, swimming until late, bare feet, wooden jetties, mountains in the distance.

Coming back with my own family makes everything feel both familiar and completely new. Watching my children swim and play in the places that hold so many of my own childhood memories.

The children in the water.
Wet swimsuits drying in the sun.
Long evenings outside.
A lot of laughter.

And, of course, there is always something on my needles. Knitting by the lake, between swims and everything else.

I often think about how much of what I make comes from here without me consciously knowing it: the colours, the textures, the mountains, the traditions, and the feeling of something made slowly by hand and kept for a long time.

Perhaps this is where much of my work really begins. Not at a desk, but in memories, landscapes and the places we carry with us.

A few notes from home.
Carinthia, summer 2026.
