AV KNITTING
“Let’s set the fabric benchmark” is what we believe and stand for. For us it means not only a qualitative alternative, but also a fabric that is produced respecting all the resources involved in the process. We want to be a benchmark based on transparency.
AV Knitting is a new brand created to reach new horizons because each “creator” deserves the most adjusted fabric for their creations

Our mission
We are constantly demanding more from ourselves, what can we improve and what can we implement to continue to raise the levels of our services. Attentive to the increasingly demanding market trends, we bet on new technology and innovation. Over the years the company has acquired more and more knowledge and skills, so a new step was necessary. AV Knitting believes that choosing the best quality knitwear and making an ethical decision is still possible even though we live in a fast consumer textile world.
We contribute to the #slowfashionrevolution through circularity and waste reduction habits. None of this would be possible without you, so AV Knitting wants to provide an experience for our creators through responsible services.
