The Merino Wool Zip Vest

Artknit Studios

Artknit Studios is an Italian knitwear label for women and men. Its range covers sweaters, cardigans, coats, jackets, skirts, trousers and accessories, made from natural fibres such as merino wool, cashmere, organic cotton and linen. The brand has stores in Milan, Rome and Biella and has run pop-up shops in Paris. Production is handled by 16 small and medium-sized Italian makers, many of them family-run. Pieces are made in small quantities and on a just-in-time basis so that unsold stock does not pile up. Every product page includes a Digital Product Passport that follows the piece from fibre to finished garment and shows its Life Cycle Assessment data and material certifications. In 2025 the brand added RWS-certified wool and GOTS-certified organic cotton, and it repaired 103 pieces. Good On You rates Artknit Studios Good overall: Great for planet, Good for people and Good for animals. It reports that the brand traces most of its supply chain, sources wool from non-mulesed sheep and uses recyclable packaging. Good On You also notes it found no evidence that living wages are paid across the supply chain.
