‘We print with dyes so that the fibres feel beautifully soft and we create in very low numbers to avoid waste.’ After the cardigan is fully constructed it his printed onto by skilled artisans based in the UK’s Midlands. ‘At the beginning we take the concept and draw up a design on a canvas, this canvas is then applied to the shape of the garment,’ Holland says of the silhouette’s design. Lines from ‘The Gates of Paradise’ (1793) are printed onto Hades’ newest ‘Flannery’ cardigan - a delicately-knitted ode to Blake, which also features floral and decorative panels evoking 18th century art. ‘Many of his ideas would appear radical now and many of his criticisms are as applicable to 2021 Britain as they were in 1795’.

‘He was a free thinker, an iconoclast and he spent his life de-crying the status quo,’ says Holland, who delved into Blake’s canon over the winter season. For Hades’ latest offering, Holland looked to the work of a seminal figure of the Romantic period: William Blake. ‘We draw inspiration from counter-cultural figures, radical ideas and history,’ says Hades founder Cassie Holland of the influences behind her knitwear creations, which range from The Cure to figures in Greek mythology. ‘We are even like a family, we don’t only talk about work and deliveries. It can take up to five days to knit a Thierra Nuestra jumper and up to 14 days to hand-crochet a dress. ‘Our team is really small, but we trust each other as really close friends,’ say García and León of their ethic. Of particular design inspiration is Flora, a weaver basd in Misminay, Cuzco, with a view from her home that is ‘one of the most beautiful we have ever seen.’ Naturalistic scenes and Flora’s own style inspired García and León, along with Flora’s position as ‘a hard-working and strong woman that believes in her roots.’ Thierra Nuestra collaborates with these communities, educating and imparting new skills, including ‘techniques and finishes’, as they create colourful, tactile creations, from dresses with sensual cut-outs to striped sweaters, chunky vests to shorts. When previously road tripping around Peru, the duo discovered communities of skilled weavers, crochet makers and knitwear artisans, in areas including Cusco and Ayacucho and also Lima, keen to ‘show their work to more people and to be financially independent’. One of the most important reasons for creating Thierra Nuestra was that we wanted to raise the name of our country and show all this talent to the world,’ explain friends Matías García and Mariseli León, who launched their craftsmanship-celebrating colourful knitwear label in May 2020, with a small gathering at a house in Lima.
