Dating back to the 1850s, Cowichan knitting originated with the Coast Salish Indigenous peoples of Vancouver Island.

These substantial knits work perfectly with vintage workwear for an authentic heritage aesthetic. By choosing pre-loved Cowichan knitwear, you're embracing sustainable fashion while owning a genuine piece of cultural craftsmanship at a fraction of what a new hand-knit piece would cost.
