You may not know it, but when you buy something from our collection, you do not only spoil yourself but you will make +350 people (and not to forget the environment!) very happy. How is this possible? We would like to introduce you to the 5 core values of LNKnits so you can get to know our brand a little bit better.
1. Humane
Did you know all of our items are made by more than 350 women in Peru? They work in a fair, humane and sustainable environment. No child labour, human exploitation or bad conditions. We even created daily childcare facilities so our ladies know that their children are taken care of while they work on our beautiful hand-knitted clothes.
2. Honest
We do not only try to create the best possible working environment for our ladies, we also pay them fair and honest wages. These are work circumstances that are not easy to find for women in Peru. This way we can create an opportunity for them to earn money and live a better life.
3. Natural
We think it is very important to only work with natural materials. Our products are made of baby alpaca, silk and linen, which are all materials that are given to us by Mother Nature. We really try to keep any artificial materials like polyamide, acrylic or polyester in our clothes to the bare minimum!
4. Sustainable
Because our products are made with beautiful natural materials and in fair conditions, we work in an environmentally friendly way. We also try to limit the surplus of the yarn by reusing our basic colours (black, white and grey) in new designs, spinning yarn for the DIY collection and by upcycling samples into beautiful pillowcases that you can find in the LNHome collection. We find this very important at LNKnits, given the fact that global warming is a worldwide issue.
5. Authentic
10 years ago, Ellen started to crochet unique beanies for herself, her family and friends. It did not take long before everyone who knew Ellen wanted one and in a matter of time LNKnits was born. As the years went by, LNKnits became bigger and bigger but did not lose its authentic touch. Every single piece in the collection is still hand made and is still made with lots of love for you.
Now you know how you as a customer really #makeadifference when you buy an LN piece. So thank you, from our ladies, from the environment and from us.
