CLEMENTS RIBEIRO

Cashmere mushroom

 

Working with Barrie Knitwear for over twenty years, Clements Ribeiro developed decorative mushroom made out of upcycled Scottish cashmere fabric swatches. During the product development, once the final piece is approved, samples are produced and tend to get archived. Clements Ribeiro repurposes these swatches by making lavender-stuffed mushrooms, handcrafted in Shropshire by local artisans, where each piece is unique. In addition to being decorative, lavender works as a moth deterrent - the number one enemy of cashmere.
