Solange M.
SOLANGE M. was founded in Buenos Aires in 1997 and built its name across South America as a swimwear label. What we buy is the other side of the house — the hand-worked knitwear and crochet.
Solange M.
The design language comes straight out of Argentina: gauchos and the pampas, Patagonia, polo, tango. That shows up literally in the materials — guanaco wool, alpaca silver, horn, pampa-style patterning — and in the hand-embroidery that finishes each piece. Embroidered scraps and leftover thread get worked back into new accessories rather than discarded, and the label’s stated mission is to keep steady work in the hands of artisan communities across the region.
We buy the crochet and knit layers: ponchos, polos, high-neck tops.
How Solange M. fits
- One-size or nearly so. A poncho drapes rather than fits, which makes it a forgiving purchase.
- Open crochet is a layer, not a coat. Wear it over a tank in shoulder season, over a long sleeve in winter.
- Hand-worked pieces vary slightly from one another. That is the nature of the craft, not a flaw.
Questions we get asked
What is it made of?
It depends on the piece — their range runs from guanaco wool to alpaca silver and horn detailing. Call 225-223-6419 and we will read you the label on the exact item.
How do I wash it?
Hand wash cold and dry flat. Never hang a wet crochet piece — the weight will stretch it permanently.
Is it made by hand?
Yes, including the embroidery, by artisan communities in Argentina.
