Forest and Waves X Granted


A word from the designer, Edward Juan:

Nature is the world’s best designer, and I drew on that inspiration for the products behind Forest & Waves. We focus on paper and fabric goods that are both functional and stylish. We know how much love you bring to your home to craft your surroundings, and we wanted to create products that reflect your own values. Our handcrafted products are made with love: they are carefully produced and designed to fit into your environment, no matter where you call home.

 

At Forest and Waves, we believe the best way to make a home your own is to fill it with what inspires you. Whether you love the outdoors or well-designed goods, we hope we can inspire you to collaborate with nature, indoors and out.

6 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT A GRANTED SWEATER

It is important at Granted for us to know how our products are made and where the materials come from. We don't use clever marketing techniques to mask the truth, we use only simple materials and old fashion knitting methods to make our garment from start to finish.

1) All made in Vancouver, Canada. Established in 1978.

2) The design and fit are timeless. Quite often our garments are passed down from one generation to the next.

3) We use only 100% pure new wool, a sustainable and ethical fibre from free range sheep.

4) Durability of knit and thickness of yarn make for the perfect outerwear sweater.

5) A distinctly Canadian Heritage classic.

6) Each sweater is made by hand and can take up to 25 hours of knitting.

The Ultimate Sweater

When I first heard about legendary wrestler The Ultimate Warrior's passing this year I was shocked. How could an invincible super hero from my childhood die? In the earlier years of the WWF there were so many characters like the Bushwackers, Junkyard Dog, Macho Man Randy Savage and the Legion of Doom but the Warrior was always hands down the favourite.

His energy was contagious and I often found myself copying his loud, incoherent energy fueled rant in the house. This was not a popular sound amongst siblings and parents. Nonetheless I looked forward to his thunderous, tasseled presence on TV and I enjoyed his interviews just as much as his matches.

A true and pure form of entertainment which is hard to find nowadays. RIP Ultimate Warrior. Thank you for being a part of my childhood. This one is for you and you will be missed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Every year we try to do a little something out of the ordinary, not only to test the boundaries of our knitters but to design something that has had an influence with our vision in some way. While other brands seem to try so hard to be something they are not we are lucky here at Granted to have a natural and genuine approach with our ideas.
