WE PROUDLY DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY
Better for the planet, better for the makers and better for you
IN THE HEART OF THE WOOL ITALIAN VALLEY
Everything is possible when you are in Biella, the capital of the wool: the World’s prime manufacturers area in the textile district of the Italian pre-Alpine valleys, a landscape that has been deeply committed to the textile culture for centuries.
Along with its beautiful Italian views, it's an extraordinary place where everything began with a strong vocation for quality and sustainability.
Here we are setting the new standards of The Modern House of Knitwear.
DIRECT TO YOU WITH ZERO WASTE
Meet the makers
WHY WE STARTED THIS JOURNEY
Fewer and longer lasting products
The company was founded in 2018 with the aim to leverage on digital practices and superior quality materials to create fewer and longer lasting products at the best value: for the makers, for the planet and for you.
Democratize luxury
We want to move things in the right direction by providing our community direct access to superior quality products made by the best Italian manufacturers at true cost. Our motto is: Buy less, Buy better.
Ethical production
We believe in sustainability as a mean of growth. We use only natural fibres and we hand-pick the best Italian manufacturers that comply with our vision and values. We are committed to a zero waste production process.
Better for the planet
Did you know that plastic textile fibers are the first cause of plastic pollution? The International Union for Conservation of Nature report estimates that about 35% of the microplastics that are found in the oceans, come from synthetic textiles.
That's why we believe in using only natural materials. Our yarns are KM0, they come from natural resources with a low impact for the environment and they are spun by certified mills in the heart of the Italian wool valley, Biella.
Better for you
We are a direct-to-consumer digital brand that offers handcrafted luxury every day knitwear, without the traditional retail mark-ups. The company is powered by a fast supply chain at KM0.
Artknit works directly with expert manufacturers in Italy and sells directly to you cutting out middlemen costs and passing on the savings to the customers.
A PASSIONATE TEAM
WITH A CLEAR MISSION
We put together professionals form different industries to build things from a different perspective.

OUR COMMITMENT
Transparent Manufacturing
With full transparency, we want to give to our community the whole story behind every single product. We want to help our community to understand the effects of their decisions and to start making better ones.
A zero waste approach
We go beyond recycling and composting at the end of a product's life cycle.
We begin with product design and we envision the use and management of materials in ways that preserve the value, minimize the environmental impact and protect natural resources.
