"  Once you touch the tassels on Tim Ryan&amp;#039;s spring knits, you know that you are in contact with something good; they are unbelievably soft and expertly crafted.  Tim Ryan learned how to knit at home with his mother and has applied a modern, sculptural style to the craft. He spent 12 years in Ireland making one-of-kind pieces for a loyal clientele and then decided it was time to grow his label. He relocated to London and birthed his first ready-to-wear collection in the fall of 2007, using only artisan craftspeople to put together the complicated collection of knits, comprised of components like cashmere, silk, and lurex lace.  We love him even more as he values his workers&amp;#039; roles in taking care of their families, allowing them to work from home or in small groups so they can take care of their children, creating his very own traditional community environment.
