Amsterdam-based fashion powerhouse Fabienne Chapot is set to chase away the autumnal gloom with a burst of vibrant colour, thanks to a unique collaboration with knitwear label CLÒIMH. The limited-edition capsule collection, entitled Fabienne Chapot X CLÒIMH, which launched this September, brings a lively, modern twist to traditional Scottish wool heritage.
This partnership represents a meeting between two stories that share the same values: passion and conscience. The concept for CLÒIMH (pronounced cl-oy, the Scottish Gaelic word for wool) was born from founder Hollie Mercedes Peters’ own journey: a Scottish native who moved to Amsterdam in her early twenties, bridging her heritage with a fresh, cosmopolitan eye. The pieces in this collection are a direct reflection of that journey, crafted from high-quality 100% Superfine Lamb’s Wool that is woollen spun in Scotland using environmentally friendly dyes, ensuring both a luxurious feel and respect for tradition.
This same tenacious spirit defined Fabienne Chapot’s own start. The Dutch entrepreneur famously launched her brand in 2006 with a simple goal: to inject bold colour into a market then dominated by duller tones. She began with accessories, literally going door-to-door on her bicycle to sell her first creations to her favourite Amsterdam boutiques. That grassroots energy and focus on maximum effect is still the pulse of the brand today.
The Fabienne Chapot x CLÒIMH collection is the perfect marriage of Dutch design flair and Scottish craftsmanship. The capsule focuses on four playful, yet utterly essential, accessories designed for versatile styling: a cosy chunky wool beanie, a versatile hood with long straps, a narrow wool mini scarf and a chic triangle scarf.
These are most certainly not your grandmother’s neutral woollens. Each piece is deliberately designed to make a statement, boasting an expressive and vibrant colour palette. Expect striking solids like burgundy red, delicate baby blue and cheerful bright pink, alongside a playful stripe pattern accented with burnt orange, mint green and warm yellow.
Finally, the integrity of the collaboration is secured by Fabienne Chapot’s commitment as a certified B-Corp. This capsule demonstrates that joyful design and ethical production can coexist, resulting in a beautifully crafted package that exudes warmth, colour and conscience.
