Lucie Ryan Designs began the way many meaningful ventures do — quietly. There was no business plan or grand launch, just a girl, some yarn, and a yearning for something authentic in a fast-paced world. My mother taught me how to knit when I was just six years old, and knitting quickly became my sanctuary. It was the one activity that allowed me to slow down, breathe, and create something tangible. Soon, friends began to notice and requested handmade beanies. Their friends followed suit, and then local stores started asking, “Wait, can we carry these?”
At that moment, I realized this was more than just a hobby; it was a burgeoning operation of its own.
From the very beginning, I’ve chosen to keep things simple: using only natural fibers, creating small batches, and designing knitwear that feels like your go-to. The kind of California coast knitwear you can throw on effortlessly because it complements your life without fuss — soft neutrals, clean lines, and that effortless “I just look like this” vibe.
This brand draws inspiration from the California coast, the essence of slow living, and that delightful feeling of warmth on a chilly day. It’s founded on the idea that fashion can be both stylish and conscious — proving that you can have pieces that feel soft, elevated, and sustainable all at once.
Every beanie, every stitch, and every colorway is crafted with intention. There’s no overproduction or cheap materials, just quality handmade beanies from someone who truly cares about what you’re putting on your head.
Lucie Ryan Designs is for the girl who appreciates simplicity, meaning, and a touch of boldness. For the one who believes that cozy can still be chic — and that the best pieces are those made by hand.
Thank you for being here. You’re supporting a dream that started with a single pair of needles and a whole lot of heart 🤍🧶
