Berlin label CCY Currency blends knitwear, craft, and innovation into tactile, mindful fashion.
Berlin-based CCY Currency redefines knitwear through a textile-work-first philosophy that celebrates touch, texture, and time. Each creation is an exploration of materiality, blending craftsmanship with experimentation to form garments that feel as good as they look. With every loop and stitch, CCY nurtures a slower way of dressing; one that values connection, longevity, and joy in the everyday act of wearing.
CARING FOR THE PLANET, ONE THREAD AT A TIME
At the heart of CCY’s design process lies a deep respect for nature and materials. The brand sources yarns from Italy, selecting primarily natural fibers such as wool and cotton that are renewable, biodegradable, and free from microplastic emissions. Occasional Mohair blends are crafted with a touch of high-quality polyamide to stabilize delicate fibers, ensuring garments that endure.
For its signature fusion technique, where knit loops intertwine with woven fabric, CCY relies on natural or repurposed deadstock materials, giving new life to what already exists. Every choice, from fiber to finish, reflects a mindful balance between innovation, beauty, and responsibility.
SUPPORTING MAKERS AND PRESERVING MEANINGFUL WORK
Sustainability at CCY extends beyond materials to the people who bring each piece to life. Production happens either in a small family-run knitting facility in Northern Italy or on hand-knitting machines in Germany, ensuring fair and respectful working conditions. By releasing just one collection a year, the brand embraces a slower rhythm that honors craftsmanship, allowing artisans to work with care rather than pressure. The result is knitwear that carries the quiet strength of human touch: garments made to be cherished for years to come.
CHOOSING KINDNESS, ALWAYS
CCY’s ethical approach includes a steadfast commitment to animal welfare. All wool yarns used are mulesing-free, guaranteeing that no animals are harmed in the production process. By prioritizing cruelty-free, responsible sourcing, CCY proves that luxury and compassion can coexist beautifully.
WEAVING INNOVATION INTO EVERY STITCH
Founder and designer Henriette Zimmermann has developed CCY’s distinctive fusion technique, a striking blend of craftsmanship and experimentation. Knit loops pass through woven fabric, connecting and shaping it in unexpected ways, creating pieces that are both structural and poetic. This approach bridges industrial precision with hand-crafted artistry, giving birth to a new textile language where innovation, sustainability, and emotion meet.
