Remarkable about the “knit couture” by MLY is that it is developed and produced locally and in-house. In stead of buying ready-made fabrics, Hermans designs her own. Production is not delegated halfway across the world, but done at a knitting facility in the vicinity of Eindhoven, where MLY is located. This is how MLY has complete control of the production process from A to Z. Although the collections by MLY differ in design and inspiration sources, a clear line can be discovered. Especially the rhythmic repetitive designs and graphic patterns give the label its own distinctive signature.
