Introducing : Ros Duke

We are so pleased to have the work of Ros Duke available in the handworked shop. As her only UK stockist, we have made a selection of her garments available online too.

Designed by Ros in her Dublin studio, every garment is made with a lifetime in mind. Inspired by her local coastline, Ros designs honest and textural cashmere with an ethical commitment to quality and sustainability, and a deep knowledge of textile development. Using the finest Italian yarn, Ros gently manipulates the yarn to create her signature raised patterns, before sculpting it into understated, covetable shapes. The result is an unimaginably soft, fluid and light cashmere that breathes in the summer and warms in the winter. 

Along with being designed in Dublin, the majority of Ros’ cashmere is made in Dublin. She has been working with the same artisan knitters from the very start. A select number of styles are made in Europe and Nepal by small family-run artisan production units, that are committed to responsible manufacturing via sustainable low impact production. 

Ros works closely with her knitters to balance traditional craftsmanship with innovative, technical processes. The goal is always to produce effortless, modern and essential knitwear, while highlighting cashmere’s soft handle and creating unexpected textures.

An edited selection of Ros Duke’s work can be found online here, with more pieces available in the shop.
