Ruana / Pure Snow

Colombian-born designer paola buendía and her husband, mark donovan, founded wooden ships in 1992. Wooden ships was inspired by the merging of many of life-long loves – literature, travel, fashion, and the environment. “knits out of bali? Seems crazy… But i have always loved knitwear. There is something so comforting about knits – and for me, looking good, is totally connected to feeling comfortable. Knits have a slouchiness that makes them immediately casual and that is very much my style…i love fashion and i love that within that world, wooden ships gets to be the “comfort food” – who doesn’t love a snuggly cardi or a beret and mittens? It’s primal!” - paola buendia, founder & designer
