Quite honestly, I don’t know if there is a cooler name than Pristine Smut. And these fine women coined it, Pristine Smut, a pair of Central St. Matins grads who have teamed their talents to create beautifully designed knitwear jewelry. Liria Pristine, knitwear designer embraces the experimental qualities of her medium.

Each piece bears the name of a diva, Aretha, Ella, Cher. In fact collection is an homage to women in the jazz age, the women who smoked and danced the night away… the controversial ones modern women relate to:
