The Top 5 Brands: Bread & Butter Fall 2014

"Upon entry, we’re handed a small, slick booklet, with a map inside highlighting the brand’s HQ: a tiny island off Ireland’s west coast with 200 inhabitants – rich with a history of knitting. The craftsmanship in each piece is outstanding, as the brand has one foot in tradition but another in the future, continuously updating stitches and adapting to a modern marketplace. With some brands, the attempts to keep heritage alive can feel forced, but with Inis Meáin it feels nothing but genuine and beautiful."
