Devika Dass was founded in 2012, following a trip to the Andes in South America where Devika discovered collectives of women who knit, a trail previously followed by brands such as Hermes, Dior and Christian Lacroix. Devika was inspired by this group of local Peruvian women to launch an entirely unique luxury knitwear brand. Devika’s passions have always been centered on creating beautiful and artistic statement designs and textiles. For her own line, Devika Dass, she wanted to extend this stylistic approach by focusing her attention on bespoke knitwear and more specifically on the philosophy behind how each garment is produced, which Devika sees as being integral to the experience of designer, producer, garment and wearer. Turning away from typical mass production techniques and channels, Devika works with only the most skilled local Peruvian craftspeople in traditional knit techniques, together celebrating the idea of artisanal skill and creating extraordinary pieces.
