Spanish fashion designer Carmen "Sita" Murt belongs to a third-generation textile industry dynasty in Igualada, Spain–a booming hub of European textile innovation and development. Murt grew up with fashion in her DNA; her parents were owners of a tannery where she would collect scraps of leather from the factory floor to create patchwork designs. By 1989, Murt had taken over her parents’ company and launched Sita Murt–a women’s knitwear label that focused on high quality, timeless, and innovative knit designs.
Since then, Sita Murt has stayed true to its founders’ experimental and modern vision to create truly exceptional and distinctive knitwear pieces for the contemporary woman. For the label, knitwear is not just a category of clothing but a celebration of innovation, artistry, and technique.
Sita Murt is a world of its own, where the texture and manual nature of knitwear manufacturing are the main components of the label’s garments, giving them an extraordinary and ingenious identity. Each article of knitwear is made using yarns created exclusively by, and for, the label.
Sita Murt continually delivers exquisite collections with inimitable Spanish flair. Expect must-have, high-quality knitted basics–tees, tanks, and pants–and “if-you-know-you-know” quiet luxury pieces that span from hand-crafted dresses to one-of-one jackets and cardigans. Today, Sita Murt can be found worldwide with several offline, brick-mortar, stores across Spain, including Igualada, where it all began nearly 100 years ago. The Forme is the largest Australian stockist of Sita Murt, offering exclusive pieces you will not find anywhere else, delivering with the option for free and fast, express shipping across Australia and New Zealand.
