I’m still kicking myself for missing out on the awesome Primoeza sample sale from a few weeks ago. Now I can’t stop thinking about cozy, handknit sweaters. I don’t live in Portland anymore, but I still like to check in on Giovanna and see what she’s stocking at Una, my favorite clothing shop in the city. She has a talent for unearthing independent designers that you would never typically hear about — steering clear of the more ubiquitous hipster-chic labels that infiltrate most high-end boutiques. Her latest posts don’t disappoint — I’m seriously obsessed with this Berlin-based knitwear line Maiami, which has just the right balance of kitsch and utilitarianism. Just the thing for chilly Montreal nights. They remind me of my beloved thrift store sweaters collection, but in better, brighter colors, and more updated, slouchy shapes. Perfection!
