In the world of Wommelsdorff, cozy is not a mood, but a craft. Like the quiet serenity of Lauterbrunnen Valley in the Swiss Alps, where the stillness of the air and landscape feels almost hand-carved, each cashmere piece carries a sense of understated comfort. The brand has perfected transforming airy cashmere into a physical expression of simplicity, warmth and refined design.
Maria Wommelsdorff, the brand’s namesake, taught her meticulous handwork techniques to granddaughter Anne Schramm, who founded the knitwear label in 2008 in Berlin. The company continues this lineage of craftsmanship by maintaining a devotion to quality with sustainable materials. Their ethically sourced cashmere comes from the finest down of the Capra Hircus Laniger goats, prized for producing fibers much warmer than wool, but incredibly light and soft. The resulting yarn is sent to an Italian factory to be dyed to Anne’s specifications and is so plush that it cannot be machine-knitted. The garments are made in limited runs by master artisan knitters, each with a specialized expertise, whose handwork lends the collection a unique, soulful quality.
The knitwear pieces blend classic silhouettes with a modern ease. Wommelsdorff’s uncomplicated, yet exquisite sweaters invite the wearer to wrap themselves in pieces made with intention: carefully created, designed to last and worn beautifully. Each handmade sweater is an ode to quiet luxury, a reminder that warmth feels different when shaped by human hands.
“He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist.”
—Saint Francis of Assisi
