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!

Twisted stitches make 1x1 rib pop in Maxima! The swirling patterns that decorate both hat and mitts are made with strategically placed increases and decreases.
