The Cotton – We Are Knitters

More than a decade ago Pepita Marin left her job at audit firm PwC to focus on her fledgling online knitting retail business together with Alberto  Bravo

Marin and Bravo’s idea for We Are Knitters originated on a trip to visit a colleague in New York, when they saw a “cool, hipster girl on the subway knitting,” she recalled.

Neither of them knew how to knit at time, she said, so decided to try it out of curiosity. Marin said she found it both relaxing and rewarding to create something with her own hands.

Based in Madrid, Spain

“WAK is trying to spread the slow-fashion movement by bringing new value to handmade fashion items. We work on developing trendy designs and kits for beginners, so we can reach younger generations.”
