About us
Artknit Studios was founded in 2018 with a clear purpose: to inspire and educate its community toward conscious consumption. From day one, it has supported Italian micro-manufacturing companies and collaborated with them to create high-quality products that are completely natural and biodegradable.
Thanks to a short and transparent supply chain, it is able to combine Italian craftsmanship with the finest raw materials while keeping prices lower than traditional luxury brands.
The essential design of Artknit Studios represents the perfect balance between aesthetics and sustainability, and reflects its commitment to promoting change towards a better future, one knit at a time.

Our products
We said no to synthetic fibers. We use certified natural fibers like wool, cotton and linen that are traced, cruelty-free and have a lower impact.
Buying knitwear made of natural materials is better for you and for the environment because it's long-lasting and, at the end of its lifecycle, it's 100% recyclable.
