ONE RIBBED CARNIVAL SOCK-IVORY

The beautiful and artful textiles made by Maria La Rosa are the result of a completely manual process performed on antique looms which are void of any mechanically moving parts. Each step, from laying out the warp-yarn and passing it through the reeds and needles, to binding and wrapping it into the warp beam, to the actual weaving, is done exclusively by hand. La Rosa’s predilection is for carefully selected natural fibers such as cotton, silk, and cashmere. She creates unique handcrafted bags and socks and her creations have graced the runways providing accessories for some of the biggest fashion houses, including Christian Louboutin, Moschino, Proenza Schouler, Alexander Wang, and Louis Vuitton. The production is entirely made in Italy, the quantity is limited and each component is worked by hand.
