Knitwear brand, Callina introduces a timeless spring /summer 2015 collection of ready to wear pieces for the modern woman, while maintaining theirmission to preserve ancient knitting practices and make a positive impact.
Callina‘s spring/summer collection is inspired by nature and artfully mixes elegant yet flirtatious patterns, making items unique yet easy to wear. Like impressionist paintings, the palette is a playful mix of soft and bright hues in fresh pastels mixed with bright pops of melons and vivid blues. New offerings include skirts, tops and sweaters in fine knits to create open lace designs and exquisite textures combining past and present knitting techniques. These modern patterns add to Callina’s sophisticated collection of silky tank tops, lightweight cardigans, and flirty skirts.
Creating exemplary wardrobe staples, Callina uses the finest and rarest hand-combed pima cotton and alpaca fibers combined with skill passed down by generations of expert artisans in Peru. The brand is a mindfully driven, remaining conscious of its carbon footprint, using certified environmentally friendly dyes that are free of hazardous chemicals.

A portion of every purchase is directly donated to fund The Mirasol Project, a boarding school founded in 2006 in the remote region of Puno, Peru, for the children of alpaca shepherds.
All Callina pieces are irreplaceable in their elegance, and their artisanal craftsmanship gives each unique piece a distinct quality. Highlights of the collection include a modern take on floral patterning through lightweight open lace stitch techniques, sophisticated sporty cardigans with soft geometric patterning, and combinations of unique geometric lace stripes and sheer gauze stitch techniques lending a distinctive soft textural effect.
