souchi - luxury knits made in oregon

  The first Souchi sweater was created in San Francisco in 1997. Over ten years later, founder and designer Suzi Johnson is still at the loom. Each year Suzi personally designs and hand-crafts four collections centered around her stunning cashmere pieces that are known for their beauty, elegance, and luxury.
  Suzi personally hand picks her yarns at the finest mills in Europe. The cashmere is selected based on perfect quality and breathtaking color and ranges in weight from whisper thin 1-ply to chunky 12-ply. She also knits pieces made from organic cotton, cotton stretch, and cotton/cashmere blends.
  The Souchi store in Portland Oregon is an intoxicating mix of Souchi originals and hand-picked pieces from coveted designers of international fame like Ports 1961, Jovovich-Hawk, Christina Lehr, and jewelers Pade Vavra and Thea Grant. Suzi chooses pieces that perfectly reflect the Souchi aesthetic; sexy and modern, stylish and comfortable. She is drawn to high quality and detail: the vintage fabrics that line Patch handbags, the 100% organic fabric used by Jackson, Johnson and Roe, and Bruce’s subtle and stylish details. The Souchi store also stocks many Souchi exclusives -- pieces that are made by Suzi and sold only in her flagship store. This includes knit favorites for women and men, special pieces for baby, and original touches for home like cashmere napkins, table runners, and luxurious blankets.
  Portland locals and seasoned travelers alike flock to the minimalist, light-filled Souchi store to purchase luxurious knits and pieces from hard-to-find designers that together create a beautiful, distinctive, and sophisticated wardrobe.
  Suzi’s designs have been featured in prominent magazines such as Vogue, W Magazine, Travel and Leisure, Lucky, In Style and British Elle. Her pieces are sought after by celebrities, stylists, and the everyday modern woman. Souchi is sold in the Souchi flagship store in Portland, Oregon, as well as in exclusive boutiques in the United States, Paris, London, Canada, and Ireland.
