New Fair Trade Knitwear from Dinadi

Dinadi is a knitwear studio based in Kathmandu, Nepal, built around women artisans employed in-house. Every piece — from the first stitch to the final finish — passes through the hands of a skilled knitter who is paid fairly, supported with healthcare, and part of a community that has changed what's possible for their families.

This fall collection is the one Mirjam, Dinadi's founder, has been most excited about. Warm hues, new fiber combinations, a pattern designed by her own daughter. These are pieces made with love at every level — and they're yours to shop first.

Each piece is hand-knit, dyed or finished. When it's gone, it's gone.

Merino Floral Sweater

The piece Mirjam is most excited about this season — and for good reason. The floral pattern was designed by her daughter, then brought to life stitch by stitch by the knitters at Dinadi. The result is something that feels both personal and timeless: a sweater with a story in every row. Warm, refined, and entirely one of a kind.

Cashmere-Merino Handknit Lace Beret

Fun, unique, and with a knit structure Mirjam describes as truly special. A cashmere-merino blend lends the beret its cloud-like softness, while the lace pattern gives it an open, delicate texture unlike anything in a conventional hat. Wear it tilted. Wear it pulled down. Either way, it's the piece in the room that makes people ask where you got it.

Merino Zero Waste Mittens

Knit entirely from leftover yarn scraps from other Dinadi production runs — nothing wasted, everything intentional. Each pair has its own colour story because no two scrap combinations are ever the same. Jog Maya, one of Dinadi's artisans, told us patterned mittens are her favourite thing to make: easy to knit, beautiful to finish, and deeply satisfying to hold when they're done. You'll feel that care when you put them on.

Yak Tie Cardigan

Yak fiber is Mirjam's personal favourite — she reaches for it every time she's cold, which in Kathmandu is often. Warmer than merino, naturally thermo-regulating, and extraordinarily soft against the skin. The Tie Cardigan brings all of that in a relaxed, layerable silhouette that moves from morning to evening without trying. The kind of piece you'll wear until it falls apart — and then wish you'd bought two.

DINADI

Dinadi was built on a simple belief: everyone deserves an opportunity. Women in Nepal are often unable to work due to poverty and gender discrimination. Dinadi changed that — creating jobs that are transformational and dignifying, in Mirjam's own words.

Each knitter at Dinadi earns a fair wage, has access to healthcare, and can afford school fees for their children. But as Maina told us: it's more than the income. It's the confidence. The skills. The community of women who show up for each other every day.

When you shop this collection, you shop early — and you shop with meaning.
