New Zealander Rebekah Davies-Patrick is nuts about hand-knits. For her new line Biisoo (born August 2009), she has sourced organic New Zealand and Australian merino wool, dyed with low-impact, metal-free dyes. Samples were made by "local knitting fanatics" – most of them mothers and grandmothers. The garments are finished with 100% silk filament ribbon, leather and vintage mother of pearl buttons. Expect the matinee jackets, vests, hats, booties, shawls and blankets to be perfect! To add an element of phylantropy to this handknit luxury for infants, the company will work with charities that protect and improve children’s lives: Save the Children, Women’s Refuge NZ and Child Helpline International. Long life to Biisoo!
