These soft and stylish mittens are upcycled from wool sweaters collected here on Cape Cod by one of our favorite local makers. Donovan Designs hand-cuts pieces from previously-loved cardigans or pullovers to maximize the use of the original patterns and colors. The mitten cuffs are created from the ribbed cuffs and waistbands of the original sweaters. And, in case that's not enough for you, they line each mitten with plush fleece for extra warmth. These are generously sized and will fit most adults.
Because these are handmade from individual sweaters, we have only one pair of each color shown. Each photo shows the palm of the left hand and the back of the right. All photos were taken simultaneously to ensure the true representation of relative sizes.
This item is one of a kind. You are purchasing the exact item shown in the image(s).
About Donovan Designs
Beth Donovan has been sewing all her life. As a child, she would take clothing apart to better understand how it was put together—a technique she still uses today. She makes her own patterns to create bags, pillows, mittens, and quilts from upcycled materials like denim jeans, coffee bags, button-front shirts, neckties, and wool sweaters.
Donovan Designs was the first local maker at Repurposed, joining us shortly after we opened. Because each of her creations is genuinely one-of-a-kind and therefore would need to be individually photographed before being sold on our website, we have many more Donovan Designs products in our Provincetown store than we have been able to list online.
