Taking Winter For Granted

by Amber on March 18, 2010 in Notebook

Today I woke up, cursed, and tried to snuggle back into the warmth of my dreams. Alas, it was a very crisp morning, signalling that Autumn is definitely in full swing.

I have mixed feelings about this seasonal change; I hate cold weather – it makes me gloomy – but the fashion is so much better! Tights, scarves, woollen caps and coats. I love it all – especially knitwear. Perhaps I’d be happier if I could get up every day and put on one of these fun jackets from Granted Clothing:

Oh my. The camels, the pyramid. What can I say? If I saw a boy wearing one of these this winter, I’d fall in love on the spot.  Truth. Camels not your jam? They also have other quirky designs featuring flamingos, deer and whales.

See the big chunky zipper pulls? Granted makes these from salvaged wood branches – eco friendly and one-of-a-kind. Overall it seems like the Granted crew are conscientious lot; every single one of Granted’s cheeky  jumpers, hats, bags and bobbles is hand-made by knitters in Vancouver – from premium New Zealand wool.

You can see the Granted process right from the design stage to the fun bits. I think it’s fair to say I’m feeling better about the impending winter just looking at these.

You’ve been posting so many summer photos the past few months, while we had to cope with snow here in the Netherlands and now when the weather finally gets better here, you’re going to show us all your wonderful winter images. So unfair. :P
