Loving liaMolly


liaMolly is a sweater collection deeply rooted in the culture of knitting, far away from fashion, if you define fashion as something that comes and goes like the seasons.

The sweaters are as natural as the designers can make them without living in another century. They aspire to humanize fashion and elevate comfort clothes to the sublime - buttery yarns, heirloom accents, and tailoring; not trendy, beautiful. They want their sweaters to be affordable, to be sold in small boutiques so people can shop locally and grow their own economy.

After Hurricane Katrina, the liaMolly creators chose to move back to New Orleans and to family because they felt it was the only thing they could do. After obsessing over how they could help from afar they finally decided that they could best help by being among. By living, eating and voting from below sea level, as they say. They are inspired by New Orleanian's will to rebuild their homes, restart businesses, and continue on with life even better than before. New Orleans is a city that is self mending.

liaMolly is organic if "organic" means "living or working together to make something whole- something greater than one....."

We are so pleased to be able to offer this lovely collection at Le Train Bleu and feel that it is a company off to a great start which would be expected for a line named for two special little girls.

Thanks for the suggestion about Sergei Paradjanov movies, I will definitely check them out. As for scarves, I'm a little too swamped with stuff right now, but maybe sometime in the future we could talk about it.
