Mending for Good Knitwear
Knitwear made around repair, surplus swatches and social craft networks.
Story & heritage
Bethany Williams’ official Mending for Good page describes the organisation as offering creative, ethical solutions for waste and excess stock through craft-based social enterprises and artisans in Italy.
The official AW22 page says knitwear had become a beloved staple for Bethany Williams and notes continued work with Barbara Guarducci, founder of Mending for Good.
Materials & craft
For All Our Stories, the brand says the knitwear used Sesia Wool industry-waste sample swatches, crocheted together with Sesia organic bio wool by the team at Manusa.
Mending for Good and Bethany Williams developed a sorting technique with Sesia so surplus swatches could be separated and reused.
How to choose & style
Let the knitwear show its handwork by layering it over matte basics rather than other busy textures.
Long scarves and panelled knits can soften structured coats, while cropped pieces make the craft detail feel casual.
