KEEP & SHARE is 'an alternative luxury knitwear label', launched in
August 2004. Each piece is lovingly knitted in the UK by the designer, Amy Twigger Holroyd, and her small team of makers.
Each collection is inspired by a concoction of images of people and places, songs, thoughts and musings that she's collected from far and wide. The characters that have inspired her then give names to the pieces. So Spring/Summer 2005 sees cultural icons Ivor Novello, JP Donleavy and Ken Kesey rub shoulders while the discovery of an old family photograph led Amy to call the Autumn/Winter 2005 pieces after six fabulously-named women from her family tree!
The name 'KEEP & SHARE' refers to Amy's design philosophy. She wants to create pieces that satisfy over time, becoming old friends that will outlast a six-month fashion fad. |
She also wants the pieces to be versatile, open enough to be defined by the wearer and worn in different ways, perhaps by different people.
Keep & Share offers unconventional - yet infinitely wearable - 'feature' knitwear for both men and women. The pieces range from scarves and slippers to shrugs and voluminous wraps, created from textured and patterned knits in off-beat colour combinations.
