Great knitwear starts with the right yarn.
B. STUDIO develops knitwear for fashion brands, from the first idea to the last delivery, with direct access to the Italian factories that make it.
A sweater is not cut from fabric. It is built from scratch, stitch by stitch.
Every detail matters.
Every stitch, gauge and yarn changes the shape, the weight, the price and the way a piece falls. Getting them right takes experience, a trained eye and time with the factory.
This know-how is disappearing, and it is expensive to learn on your own collection.
B. STUDIO brings it to your team, for a single piece or for a whole season.
Services
One person accountable, from sketch to deliveryProduct direction
Silhouettes, gauges, stitches, price architecture and quantities, built around what sells for you and what is fashionable this season.
Material research
The right yarns and spinners, prices negotiated, lead times managed so the material arrives when it should.
Technical development
Technical packs, prototypes, fittings and corrections until the piece is right, written in the language your factory actually works in.
Production follow-up
Orders, lab dips, pre-production samples, planning and quality, followed through to the moment the boxes arrive.
Italian manufacturers
Several factories, each with its own specialities, so a collection goes to the mill best suited to it.

Brands come to us for a single opinion on a difficult piece, for a capsule, or for a whole season. We start from what your brand needs, answer your requests, and step in exactly where your collection is held back.
A wide selection of pieces you are allowed to touch.
The studio holds a working archive from Italian knitwear manufacturers: stitches, finishes and constructions developed over decades, with a selection always on display.
It is the fastest way to see what is possible before committing to a single sample. Most decisions about a collection are made by looking, getting inspired and handling the physical pieces.
The showroom
A nineteenth-century apartment in Ixelles, with high ceilings, mouldings and the light of tall windows. It was set up to look at knitwear properly: on the hanger, in the hand, by the window.
Each visit is arranged around your brand. The rails change for every appointment.
The work table
Where yarn cards, swatches and technical packs are laid out, and where a range plan becomes a list of pieces the factory can make.
Meetings can also take place at your office, with a selection of the archive brought to you.
Founded by Alessia Scholl.
Ten years developing collections, knitwear and woven, for international fashion houses. Most recently five years as head of knitwear collections and product manager at a Belgian couture house, where she ran two collections a year and a knitwear business of three to four million euros: around fifty styles in collection and thirty-five in production every season.
She speaks to Italian factories the way they speak to each other. That is usually the difference between a collection that arrives on time and one that does not.
