Pien Studios

Pien Studios is a small independent Amsterdam based brand that doesn't get along with the high pace wheel of fast fashion. Working with a small team of local knitters to craft products that aren't temporary but enduring. Our intuition is to take our time and get it right, after all ''we knit slow''. Taking our time, prioritises the journey over the destination. It encourages contemplation and observation. Doing this allows us to create editions that are seasonless, local, hand-made, using only our favorite recycled materials and packaging. Designer Pien Barendregt started making one-of-a-kind bags for friends that inspired her first edition of hand-knitted bags. Born in a small farming town in the North of the Netherlands, she went on to study at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute before working for a fashion label in New York City. Now back in Amsterdam she wants to stay close to her love for textiles, allowing the materials to form the direction of future editions.
