Story & heritage

The official product page introduces Bella as part of Hope Macaulay's signature chunky knit sweater style, here embellished with a large pink bow. It translates the label's oversized knit language into a more graphic, motif-led statement while keeping the same handmade warmth as the cardigans.

This is the kind of piece that makes the brand's playful side instantly understandable: soft, romantic, slightly surreal, and still rooted in visibly hand-built texture rather than print or surface trickery.

Materials & craft

The product page says the signature chunky yarn is hand-processed to its thickness and then hand-knitted using the intarsia technique to create the design. The bow is then intricately hand-embroidered onto the sweater, adding a second layer of manual work.

Bella is made in small, limited quantities from 100% Merino wool. The page also cites responsible sourcing, RWS certification, and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified dyes.

How to choose & style

Bella is at its best with feminine pieces that do not compete with the bow: a slip skirt, soft denim, or a plain full skirt keeps the sweater whimsical rather than busy. Let the neckline and cuffs stay visible, because the charm of the piece is how the oversized motif sits on a straightforward chunky body.
