Winter Weather Outlook

Functional Knitwear Business

• 🎨 The brand Baguette focuses on functional knits, presenting artwork in the form of scarves and blankets.
• 🌍 Designs are created by artists from around the world, with an art director and a team collaborating on selections.
• 🧵 The company considers the design's drape for blankets and the pattern for scarves, treating the larger blanket as a bigger canvas.
• 🧶 While wool is an option, cotton (Egyptian and organic) is a popular material due to its feel and the ease of care for all knits.
• 🏭 All products are produced and knit on Long Island, allowing the team to take ownership of the production process and ensure high quality.
• ❤️ The founders express passion for collaborating with artists, being inspired by their work, and the ownership of production.
