Our story
Manos & Fell began with a visit to Peru, a grandmother who never stopped knitting, and a belief that the most beautiful things in the world shouldn't be hidden.
On a visit to Lima, I met Dani's grandmother - Betty. She grew up in Cajamarca, in the mountains of northern Peru, and has been knitting her whole life. She moved to Lima years ago, but the craft stayed with her. Every single day, she knits.
The scarves she makes are extraordinary. Pure baby alpaca - softer than cashmere, warmer than wool - knitted by hand using traditional Andean patterns. No pattern is ever exactly repeated. Each one is a single piece that will exist once, and then be gone.
We ship them to the UK and Europe, and every scarf that leaves Lima carries a piece of Betty's day with it.
Manos means hands in Spanish - Betty's hands, the craft, the human touch that makes every piece unique. Fell is the rugged English landscape - the kind of place you'd wrap yourself in something warm and beautiful.
Together they represent what this brand is: Peruvian warmth, English worn.
Betty knits one scarf each day. That's all. Which means supply is genuinely, truly limited. We don't manufacture, we don't batch produce, we don't have a warehouse. When a scarf sells, it's gone. When a new one is ready, we list it.
If you find something you love, it's worth not waiting.
Giving back
Peru gave us this brand. The least we can do is give something back. We donate 2.5% of every sale to a Peruvian charity - updated monthly.
