SS26 In and in-between explores the duality between the steadiness we know and the unknown we move toward – the space between what is and what might become. Lush archive patterns are renewed within a soft palette of harmonious tones.

Heathered gray provides a solid foundation, while olive and yellow add earthy warmth and depth. A soft, turquoise-tinged blue brings clarity and evokes the gentle spring fjord. Light taupe and off-white introduce a calming, balancing layer. The result: garments that balance tradition and transformation – with serenity and movement.

In designing this collection, we’ve sought to return to what feels steady. Not as a retreat, but as a form of calm. A clarity in the values we build on – and in the craft we carry forward.

We seek the recognisable. Rhythms we’ve known before. A writer we always return to. Music that lives in our bodies. A painting that moves with us. The factory’s steady machine symphony. The glittering fjord outside our windows in Ytre Arna.

We are shaped by what we choose to carry with us – and we aim to make clothes that carry something just as lasting, just as meaningful, for you.

The collection is named In and in‑between, a phrase that embodies the duality we hold dear – the steadiness within us and the openness toward what comes next. It speaks to that space between the known and the unknown, the familiar and the possible. You’re always in motion, always evolving. And yet, some guiding values and comforts remain unchanged. In and in‑between captures this tension – firmly rooted in tradition, while courageously embracing who and what you’re becoming. Designed for a life in motion.

We’ve searched through our own archive. Rediscovered details, patterns, structures and silhouettes that still speak – that still hold life. Is it nostalgia? Perhaps. But above all, it is a conversation between past and present.

The pieces in SS26 are inspired by rhythm. Not the quick kind – but the even one. The knitting machine’s monotonous hum. The hand’s patient precision. Pulse, breath, stillness. Our daily rituals and rhythms.

The materials lead the way. The yarn knows the direction. We have listened – and followed. Ideas have grown out of shapes we’ve worn before. Ornaments that carry memory. It’s about balance. Between softness and precision. Between warmth and structure. Between folklore and function.

We create clothes that are made to live on – beyond the rush of time. Clothes that carry rhythm, steadiness, pride. Clothes that make space for what is essential – in ourselves, and in our surroundings.

Not to stand still, but to move forward – with steady steps.

Warmly,
The Ytre Arna makers
