REVISITING THE ESSENCE

Subtle Knotz is a Danish knitwear brand that helps you contribute towards an ecological wardrobe. We responsibly produce limited quantities of sustainably developed hand-knit garments, that are created by assessing every aspect of their life-cycle, and where respect for people, nature and animals coalesce to form their very essence. All our pieces are crafted by skilled rural women using colourful organic materials and old hand-knitting traditions that give the garments soul. Empathy, honesty and slow living are the founding principles of Subtle Knotz. All the yarns used in our collections can be reused and recycled when the garment has served its useful life.

Supporting underprivileged women

Every ‘Subtle Knotz’ garment is made from 100% renewable resources and we aim to promote craftsmanship while simultaneously providing skilled rural women in Sri Lanka with employment opportunities to support themselves and their families. Today, there are over 180 highly skilled female knitters producing our pieces. Knitting is their passion and they can tackle any intricate pattern as they are specially trained in advanced hand-knitting techniques. We ensure that these women are not pressured in any way and are paid fairly for the number of hours they put in. They are given their entire earnings for all the commercial knitting that they do without any cuts.

Subtle Knotz decided to work with these women as they have taken up this wonderful opportunity of learning a lifetime skill and we are supporting these underprivileged rural women by providing them with a source of income through commercial hand-knitting. They do not have strict fixed working hours or shifts like in a fast fashion factory but are given flexibility to attend to family matters and household chores, thereby preserving their family unit and giving them a work-life balance. Subtle Knotz wants to contribute towards Sri Lanka’s macro economics by making a positive improvement in the development of low-income families and uplifting the living standards of rural women there.
