- Description
- Composition & Details
- Our Ateliers
Graphic as a woodcut print: black ground, cream squares, each one a frame within a frame around a pale centre. Look long enough and the pattern starts to move, the way a chessboard does at the edge of your vision. It has the discipline of a two-colour palette and the warmth of something made by hand. Wear this balaclava close and light under a plain black coat, or with a heavier knit when the frost sets in. The crochet wraps head and neck, open at the face, with a soft scalloped edge where it meets the skin. Squares worked and joined by hand.

From you
Every piece leaves the shop and starts a life we rarely see. Sometimes a photograph comes back.

The hands behind your piece
Knitted and crocheted entirely by hand, one piece at a time, by women in Anatolia. There are days of work in every stitch — and most pieces are made only once. Designed in Brighton, made to be kept.
Read our story →FAQ
Are your products really handmade?
Yes. Every Ana Chic piece is 100% handmade using traditional crochet and knitting techniques. No mass production — each item is individually crafted with care and intention.
Can I machine wash it?
Yes, it can go in the washing machine. Use a cool, gentle cycle, then reshape it and lay it flat to dry. Skip the tumble dryer. For the longest life, a cold hand wash keeps it at its best for years. Toys are the exception: keep them out of the machine and hand wash them gently.
How do I choose the right size?
Most pieces have a relaxed, easy fit, and hand-crocheted and knitted pieces have a little natural give. If you are between sizes or unsure, write to us before you order and we will help you choose.
What is your return policy?
You can return unworn, unwashed pieces with tags attached within 14 days of delivery. UK returns are free: email us your order number and we will send a prepaid label. International returns are welcome too, with return shipping paid by the customer.
