 St. Croix's Art Sweater
Wearable Art
Some artists work with chalk or oil pastels, but our designers use fabric. As color, texture and creative design are the hallmarks of our brand, it seems natural that we would celebrate art through our medium. Each season, our designers draw inspiration from a specific art piece. They take great care interpreting the creation as handcrafted knitwear and thread by thread, the design transforms into a masterpiece. The utmost precision is required from start to finish and the result is nothing short of fabulous. Every Art Sweater also meets the superior standards we are known for.

Our Legacy Sweaters
The Windmill at Amsterdam depicts the old Zaandam mill that sat along the Canal in Amsterdam. The mill was used for extracting yellow, red and blue dyes from coloured woods, with the development of chemical dyes. Â Claude Monet's vibrant use of colours in the work would seem to reference the dyes from the historic use of the building, the colours appearing to seep out into the canal.
