Swiss sustainable footwear brand INUIKII have teamed up with London-based knitwear designer Niamh Emily Foster to create a limited-edition collection of hand-knit sweaters and bootie-styled sneakers. The "one-of-a-kind creations" were conceptualised through experimenting with yarn, mohair and leather.

INUIKII was founded in Zurich by Cinzia Maag and her sons Danilo and Alessio in 2013, initially as a brand for the colder months, when both style and function is key. INUIKII has since gone on to make state-of-the-art curated footwear for all seasons, combining durability and style, while having sustainability and practicality in mind.
The INUIKII and Niamh Emily Foster collaboration has been two years in the making, and the results are born out of a shared love for the unexpected. With this year marking INUIKII's 10th anniversary, they are pleased to be introducing their first ever UK collaboration of this kind.
Founder Maag said, “I discovered Niamh’s art on @mimimoocher and immediately fell in love with the raw handcraft and the sassiness of Niamh’s designs. We always had this idea in mind to support young artists, their energetic spirit and unexpected way of thinking. To start this kind of project era and this new kind of HERE I AM — which is one of the INUIKII pillars — with Niamh, made perfect sense.
"Our brands are aligned, since we support womanhood, standing out, being bold and believing in what each of us is capable of. On the INUIKII side, we dived into the world of knitting, which was very interesting for us and is something that we want to take up in the future.
We are now excited to see how many heads our collab pieces will turn!” said Cinzia Maag, INUIKII Founder & Creative Director.
The collection is available at INUIKII.com.
