"Best things in life are still made by hand" is the motto of INTI, founded in 1993 by Anna Cales and Leon van den Broek. The brand guarantees beautiful, handmade knitwear made from the highest quality alpaca wool from Peru. This beautiful brand has been available with us since the beginning of MHOOM.
Love at first sight In 1993, Leon and Anna set off for South America as adventurous backpackers. It was love at first sight: the continent stole their hearts with its beautiful nature, colorful culture, and hospitable people. They never left. In thirty years, they created not only a fashion label but also a knitting family and a studio in Otavalo where the knitters gather to work, socialize, and eat together.
A team of 700 knitters Every year, Anna Cales and her head knitters create a new Inti collection.
The team now consists of 700 knitters and is closely involved in every step of the process. Stitch by stitch, each garment is lovingly crafted from high-quality materials, on two needles, by local knitters working from home.
The essence of socially sustainable fashion The women who make the garments live in relatively remote villages. Their husbands often work in the cities and are away during the week; their children are at school. Working on these garments gives the women a sense of purpose and, importantly, their own source of income. They are completely free to plan their workload based on their needs and desires. Each knitter receives a small portion of the exclusive wool for their own use; the rest is processed into garments. This has resulted in a very vibrant community of women who share instructions, experiences, and techniques. Some have been knitting for Inti Knitwear for over twenty years.
This is the essence of socially sustainable fashion.
Inti Knitwear garments are all handmade.
Therefore, (minor) variations in shape, finish, and color are characteristics and should not be considered defects.
Treat them with love, follow the washing instructions carefully, and you will enjoy your garment for a long time. You can feel the care, dedication, expertise, and passion in every piece. Inti Knitwear has an eco-friendly, sustainable, and refined policy and treats nature, culture, and people with respect. VISIT OUR WEBSHOP FOR THE NEW COLLECTION!
