A collection of original knits designed by EARLYMADE founders, Patrícia Sousa and Emanuel Sousa, and made by associated Porto-based knitters, using vintage knitting machines from the 1970s and 1980s. The home-based knitting machines were a traditional staple at home, allowing mainly women to work from home to the larger factories especially in the north of Portugal, were the textile industry flourished. Earlymade has two operating vintage machines by Brother (discontinued, the company stopped producing these machines in the early 1990s) where the protos are designed and manufactured by Patricia and associated knitters, some still working from home.
