MOTHER HAND artisan New arrival!!

Hello.

With October approaching and the depths of autumn drawing near, MOTHER HAND artisan has arrived at Carrefour.

MOTHER HAND artisan—

MOTHER HAND artisan is a knitwear brand that values the work of the "hand"—the very origin of craftsmanship—based on the concept of "being modest yet superior."

Knitted over time on traditional hand-flat knitting machines, each piece possesses a unique character that cannot be created through mass production.

What characterizes their work is a unique manufacturing method that knits parts like the body and sleeves with as few seams as possible.
The subtle changes created by increasing or decreasing stitches result in a three-dimensional and natural silhouette.

At first glance, the knits appear simple.
However, once you slip your arms into them, the delicacy of the construction, the form that contours to the body, and the softness inherent to handiwork come through.

The longer you wear them, the more their quality becomes apparent.
Supported by customers even in Belgium, where the brand was founded, and continuing to evolve after returning to Japan, the number of customers who add one more piece to their collection every year continues to grow.
That is the kind of garment that MOTHER HAND artisan continues to create.

While you feel a gentleness in the comfort as if being enveloped, they do not simply follow traditional techniques exactly as they were.
By meticulously researching materials, knitting methods, patterns, and silhouettes, they combine handwork with unique ideas to pursue beautiful forms as contemporary clothing.







The "CANBERRA" (Super Fine Wool Super 100’s), which we ordered this season in two styles and three colors, was requested in "Wish Fit."
After being produced in the atelier, it is washed to tighten the stitches, resulting in a soft, fluffy, light, and warm finish.
CANBERRA yarn is a material that moderately fulls and matures to a smooth surface as you wear it and wash it over time.
This item makes the most of those characteristics.

The crew-neck raglan sleeve model is named "NAMUR" after a city in Belgium.

The "OSTENDE," also ordered in Wish Fit, is another item named after a city.

Both feature a diamond-shaped pattern with a wide body that tapers toward the hem. While there are seams connecting the surfaces, they are created using a unique method.
This method is designed to avoid interference with the body; not only does it highlight the quality of the material, but it also creates a stress-free fit by ensuring there is no structural strain.
I believe the reason for repeat customers lies in the fact that you simply find yourself wearing them more often.




This is the "NAMUR" standard model in the same "CANBERRA" yarn, with a relaxed fit.

As it hasn't been pre-washed, you have the pleasure of breaking it in yourself through hand washing and other care over time.




The "BASTOGNE" is finished using a special yarn tailored for MOTHER HAND artisan with a 6:4 ratio of wild silk to mohair.

Possessing the moist, hydrating properties unique to silk and the heat retention of silk mohair, only one garment can be finished per day through the fusion of skilled techniques and this optimal yarn for a dull-lustered knit.

This is a piece we hope you will cherish, enjoying pairing it with shirts or inner layers.




"LAMORA" (75% Super Fine Wool, 25% Angora), which uses the same Italian yarn as the "CANBERRA," was produced in Biella, a region famous for wool.
Speaking of Biella, it is a land where renowned suppliers gather—often featured in the Carrefour blog and frequently used by GEOFFREY B. SMALL as well.

"HASSELT" is a collarless style, a so-called kimono cardigan.
For items like the "OSTENDE" hoodie and this "HASSELT," the shape from the shoulder to the neck is connected without seams, which is the signature of MOTHER HAND artisan.

The "MOTHER HAND artisan" lineup for this year is now complete.
We hope this is an opportunity for you to encounter the charm of knits born from handiwork.
