Leelu Mitten: Periwinkle

Why it caught our eye

French Knot understands that winter accessories can be small works of art. Founded by knitwear designer Lindsay Mason, the collection draws inspiration from vintage textiles, imaginative color combinations, and the beauty of traditional handwork.

Each design is brought to life by skilled women artisans in Nepal, whose remarkable knitting and embroidery techniques give these pieces their distinctive character. The company follows fair-trade principles and pays its artisans a living wage—an admirable commitment to the people behind the craftsmanship.

We love French Knot for its wonderful balance of warmth, artistry, and personality. These are not ordinary winter accessories, but beautifully considered pieces that can transform a simple coat and make even the coldest day a little more interesting.

Inspired by vintage Estonian knitting, Leelu feels like a discovery from a wonderful old winter wardrobe. Its floral pattern and happy color combination bring life to even the simplest coat, while soft wool and a fleece lining make these mittens as comforting as they are beautiful. The periwinkle version is particularly lovely.
