Camille Romano x Biches & Bûches

We are delighted to present the lovely SOLMU vest designed by Camille Romano, with Le Petit Lambswool and Le Petit Silk & Mohair 🐚 Camille Romano is a French Knitwear designer and graphic designer based in Finland.

'SOLMU means “knot” in Finnish. I was inspired by this regional costume from the Netherlands called “ broenbonte kraplap” . I loved the concept right away: practical, timeless and emphasizing freedom of wear. The piece is easy to layer and can be worn all year long. I wanted to play with the idea of a closed-up front while retaining the ability to open or close the garment, or adjust it as needed.' Camille Romano

Details

Construction
SOLMU is knitted flat from bottom to top in two separate pieces (front and back). These two pieces are then seamed together at the shoulder and stitches are picked up around the neckline to form the collar. Finally-and that’s probably the most singular part of this vest-two straps are knitted in double stockinette and later seamed at the armholes, so the vest can be fastened at the waist.

Note that both front and back pieces are not designed to be fully covering your bust, but rather hit a bit before your arm scye.
