Its visible stitches create a distinctive handmade appearance, often with large open spaces and repeating motifs. In fashion, crochet is commonly used for dresses, tops, skirts and accessories.

Founded in Britain in 1970, Jigsaw combines contemporary design with an emphasis on craftsmanship and quality fabrics. The brand works with its own atelier and produces many collections in limited runs, with a focus on distinctive pieces rather than high-volume fashion. Jigsaw also has a longstanding connection with British arts and culture through its Art Foundation.
