PATRICK MITTMANN — cardigans for layering, short skirts cut to move in.
We work out of Thale, at the mouth of the Bode valley in the Harz, and the shop is built on two things that get worn together: a cardigan thrown over everything, and a short skirt or skort that stays where it is put. Eight pieces, four of each, chosen for how they behave on the walk to a bus stop rather than how they look in a studio shot.
What we sell
Our product type is clothing, and the range is deliberately narrow:
- Jacquard, striped wool-blend and embroidered button-down cardigans
- Pointelle and floral knit cardigans in peach and cream
- High-waisted mini skorts with a side bow or a bubble hem
- A faux-suede embroidered skort and a belted faux-suede mini skirt
How the range gets chosen
A skirt is tested by sitting down and standing up in it; a cardigan by whether the placket still lies flat after a wash. Anything that rides up, twists at the side seam or pills within the first month is dropped from the range, and the rest stays listed for as long as we can keep the stock.
What we are not
We are not a reseller working from somebody else's catalogue. Cardigans and skirts are bought in short runs, held here and measured flat by hand, and where we have not measured a garment we do not print a number for it.
Orders and delivery
Packing takes 1-3 business days and the carrier estimate is 15 business days. Postage is worked out by distance at checkout; it is not a flat rate, and nothing is added to the bill after you place the order.
Getting in touch
Email or telephone, Monday to Friday. For a skirt that sits shorter than the photograph suggested, tell us the size you ordered and the length you expected, and we will compare it with the same size here.
