The Elder Statesman, founded by Greg Chait in 2007, embodies handcrafted knitwear with simultaneously luxurious and casual flair. Originally focused on exquisite cashmere blankets, the label has evolved into a genuine lifestyle brand. The Elder Statesman is characterized by relaxed luxury and the highest integrity, emphasizing not only craftsmanship but also an ethically oriented approach in its corporate philosophy. This is reflected in high moral standards and a responsible approach to customers, employees, and environmental issues. The majority of the products are created in the in-house arts and crafts facility in Los Angeles. The collections, marked by subtle nostalgia, showcase hand-painted sweaters, scarves, and pants with prints reminiscent of the 70s and the hippie culture. The focus is on artisanal excellence, with sunny California serving as a source of inspiration, all while preserving the lighthearted character of the label.
