Wrapt Knitwear X Guillotine by Lisa Jaffe
Lisa Jaffe and I have long had a little mutual fan club. We both love clean, timeless design, value material integrity, and are intrigued by how softness and structure can co-exist and complement each other.
After a few years of saying "we should do something together", we did 😀 - and it's dropping right now, in-store at Guillotine.
Each item was hand-picked by us, and subtly tweaked in a process we think of as a dialogue in form, structure and fibre.
Two styles are in-store: the Halo Pullover, a delicious mohair jumper, and the Halo Jacket, a softly tailored jacket, also in mohair. We'll let you know about new items as they drop.

What do you think? We'd love to hear from you! 🥰

My mom made most of our clothes when we were growing up, with the result that I've always been very aware of - and fussy about - what garments are made of, and what they should look like on the inside. It's a compulsion: when I see something in a store that looks interesting, it gets turned inside out so I can check both of those things. If either is a "fail", that's the end of my interest. ☺️
So natural fibres, obviously... But also, in every single thing we make, I'm aware of what the "wrong" side looks like - and whether my mom would approve.
So I guess it stands to reason that I'm terribly pleased with this reversible set, which literally doesn't have a wrong side!
This is achieved by, firstly, using a rather special knitting technique that layers one colour yarn inside the other, so that the lighter one dominates from one side and the darker one from the other.
Secondly, a whole lot of trial and error produced trims that look equally lovely inside and out.
And lastly, some very meticulous hand assembly ensures that even the seams (where pieces are joined) are not only functional, but decorative.
Want to know what my mom's reaction when I showed her? "My kind!" 💚💚💚🥰

The Tessera Set, in 100% cotton, is available on the website (link in bio). Please check timelines before ordering: we'll be knitting til the 15th, and only have capacity for a few more orders before the holidays.
