Last week, over eggs and housemade granola at a biodynamic farm in the fields outside Amsterdam, the designers Meryll Rogge and Sarah Allsopp introduced their knitwear line B.B. Wallace, a seasonless, deeply artisanal ode to natural materials and Anglo-Saxon comfort. Picture: a deconstructed baby blue cardigan-cum-jumper, raw edges unwinding at one corner; double-face triangle scarves in gentle yellows and spring greens; and a radiant pink double-knit cardigan, all surrounded by grazing cows and wildflowers. The pieces lean into the aesthetics of the English countryside while putting color and shape—classic, with an ever-esoteric twist—front and center. As we walk past a barn of sheep nestling in the hay, the restaurant-farm’s head chef quips, “Those are next year’s sweaters.”
