Mr Mittens

Founded by Belgian-born Stéphanie Caulier, the brand's journey began when she moved to Australia for love and, during a trip to New York in 2007, rediscovered her childhood love for knitting. Inspired by a knitting café, she returned to Australia with the idea of creating her own knitwear label.

With no formal training but a lifetime of knitting experience, Caulier launched her first collection, known for its signature reverse purl stitch. Her pieces quickly caught the eye of premium boutiques in Belgium, leading to the brand’s first orders. In a quirky nod to a beloved children’s story, she named her label Mr Mittens, after a mischievous cat.
