THE PLEXUS KNIT PONCHO IS HAND KNIT IN THE US AND FEATURES A MULTIFUNCTIONAL HOODED ELEMENT, AND A JUXTAPOSITION BETWEEN A LARGE WOVEN YARN, AND DELICATE OPEN KNIT WEAVE.
THE HOOD ON THIS PONCHO CAN BE WORN 3 DIFFERENT WAYS AS THE WEARER CAN UTILIZE THE HOOD ON OR OFF, OR BRUSH OFF THE TOP HALF OF THE HOOD FEATURE TO REVEAL A COWL NECK IN THE FRONT.
THIS OPEN KNIT TECHNIQUE WE HAVE APPROPRIATELY NAMED THE PLEXUS KNITTING TECHNIQUE AS THE TERM DERIVED FROM TWO DEFINITIONS; A PLEXUS STRUCTURE CAN REFER TO BOTH A NETWORK OF NERVES OR VESSELS IN THE BODY, OR AN INTERWOVEN COMBINATION OF PARTS OR ELEMENTS IN A STRUCTURE OR SYSTEM.
OUR SIGNATURE ESTUARY MOTIF CASCADES AND FLOWS WITHIN THE OVERSIZED WOVEN KNIT, AND IS ADORNED WITH ASYMMETRIC TASSELS AND THREADS. THE ECHO OF THE ESTUARY MOTIF CAN BE SEEN ON BOTH SIDES OF THE PONCHO.
THIS PONCHO IS HEAVIER IN WEIGHT AS IT IS MEANT TO COMFORT AND GROUND THE WEARER, AND WAS CREATED TO BE WORN MULTIPLE WAYS.
IN THIS COLLECTION, WE INTEGRATED ELEMENTS SUCH AS HAND-PAINTED HARDWARE AND LOGOS DESIGNED TO ADORN EACH GARMENT IN FORMS REMINISCENT OF SHELLS AND BONES FOUND AMONG THE NATURAL WORLD THAT EMPHASIZE THE PASSAGE OF TIME, AND THE PERMANENCE OF TRANSFORMATION.
