Modern Artisanal Knit Collections : Rafaiel Knitwear

Rafaiel Knitwear presents the Fall/Winter 2023/2024 Jednotny Knits collection as a symbol of innovation and sustainability within the ever-evolving fashion landscape. Founded by Darcey Lehman in New York City, the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship, ethical practices, and the art of fashion is evident.

Jednotny, meaning ‘united’ in Czech, harmoniously blends Rafaiel Knitwear’s signature artisanal knits with modern essentials for the urbanite. Drawing inspiration from Lehman’s Czech heritage, the collection seamlessly transitions from daily wear to evening elegance. The collection features luxury knits crafted from 100% merino wool and cruelty-free baby alpaca yarn, emphasizing the purity of unblended fibers. Beyond exceptional wear, each garment is designed to be fully recyclable or biodegradable, aligning with the brand’s commitment to environmental consciousness. Rafaiel Knitwear reflects this attention to sustainability through the use of Organic Cotton from Texas and its transformation into luxurious knit fabrics in North Carolina, culminating in production in New York City’s garment district.
