2022


 

a season in review

2022 was a season of rejuvenation and excitement for Hands On.  Our favorite designers took advantage of the pandemic to enhance their work and we welcomed several new artists into our family. Many of you returned to the shop after a two-year absence and discovered treasures from artists both familiar and new.  We are most grateful for your support.  You make it possible for us to continue doing what we love to do.  We promise that next season will be even better.

Kay Chapman

Fabric is the canvas that I use to create my one of a kind and limited edition clothing. I love color, texture and line, combining them to create designs that can go from subtle to bold.

 

Natural fibers such as silk, cotton, linen and wool are used since they take the dye so nicely and feel great on the body. The fabric is stretched onto a frame where dyes and design are applied by hand. The piece is then steamed to set the dye, washed to remove any excess and is then ready to be made into the desired garment. My goal is to create clothing that flatters the body and is timeless.

pé de Chumbo

For summer ‘21 the certainty that just as spring all is renewed, was the starting point for a collection full of memories. Pieces that were reborn in the same way, but with different textures and old textures in other forms, It’s a reuse of triumphs, to give them a new moment, a new hope… It is a collection of collections, equal but different and where Spring is present.

 

Matthildur

The finest pima cotton knit tops and sweaters designed by an Icelandic designer and crafted in Peru.

 
 
 

Deborah Cross

I am drawn to the interplay of fabric and the body.  Each of my pieces is designed with unique fabrics that I create. Art and comfort can coexist in beautiful pieces that express harmony between materials, form, and function. Inspired by this dynamic of color and texture, each collection is one element of an extended process of examining and rethinking my previous design decisions. I strive for a feminine, architectural, modern feel that transcends seasonal trends and has universal appeal.
