Gift Focus inc Attire Accessories - September/October 2020

134 We spoke to Anna Falcke about her new collection. She said, “We are launching a whole new collection of organic cotton (GOTS approved) snoods and reversible wristees in wonderful jacquard designs. Due to the pandemic we have also introduced a face mask to match and a collection of very soft jersey buffs with matching cuffs, which are easy to wear and very comfortable. The buffs work as an option to the mask and can be worn in the hair too. Everything is made by hand in the west country. Watch this space for the new velvet face masks, which will be available from September.” T: +44 (0)117 904 9698 www.annafalcke.com The Equilibrium Fashion Accessories Collection from Joe Davies is a high priority for many retailers and customers alike.

Accessories use geometric knitted patterns and blend neutral and vibrant colours to create a signature style with wearability. Founder Natalie grew up by the New Forest and learnt to hand knit from a very young age, originally launching Miss Knit Nat as a hand knitted brand. After training in machine knitting she fell in love with the structure of the stitch and the possibilities that machine knitting could offer, and her dream of making brightly coloured knitted accessories became a reality. All Miss Knit Nat headbands, circle scarves, cowls, cushions and wraps are made by Natalie in her Surrey studio. Each piece is knitted on a hand powered knitting machine using a number of weights and tools throughout the process, then finished by hand to ensure a luxury quality. The items are then washed to slightly felt and create a gorgeously soft fluffy texture, and steam- ironed before being carefully packaged and sent out. Pom pom hats and fingerless mitts are knitted in Scotland working with a mill. T: +44 (0) 7899 792 095 E: contact@missknitnat.com www.missknitnat.com
