About

The Knowledge is a concept space born from the philosophy of preserving and celebrating handmade skills and timeless craftsmanship. Inspired by the London cabbie test and the deep legacy of savoir-faire, it embodies the idea of passing knowledge from generation to generation. This space is more than a studio— it’s a sanctuary for creativity, learning, and collaboration.
We offer private knitting classes, a swatch studio for hands-on exploration, and consultancy services for designers in costume, interior, and fashion. Complementing these elements is a high-end line of clothing and homewares, all locally handmade using natural and recycled yarns.
