Sandy D'Andrade

For over 30 years, Sandy D'Andrade has been a Studio Artist producing a unique line of wearable art, consisting of coordinated knitted separates – jackets, coats, tunics, skirts, dresses and scarves. Everything she makes is knitted using original techniques: hand-loomed on a knitting machine and/or hand-knitted the traditional way (on knitting needles). Her finely crafted garments can be found in specialty stores and galleries, at major fine art and craft shows and in museum collections across the country (including the Hope McCormick Costume Collection of the Chicago historical Society). Sandy has developed a large and loyal clientele, from New York to New Zealand, and was the first knitwear designer to ever participate in the Winter Park Festival. She designs and creates comfortable, elegant, multi-functional garments, of the highest quality, to fit real women with real figures. All of her designs are original and each piece is made by hand -- none are mass produced or mass assembled. Making each piece, one at a time, allows D'Andrade the chance to hone her art daily and allows her the freedom to do individual custom work (custom sizing, colors and styles) on a regular basis. Sandy's work is elegant and timeless, artful and carefully considered.
