Co-owner/artist, Kathy Konecki, an experienced designer and knitter, loves to imagine the soft fibers and deep colors of our luxurious accessories warming the hands, necks and shoulder of women and men everywhere. They started Necessary Little Luxuries in 2009 with Helen Spector and have been offering their products for sale through shops and shows ever since.
Kathy Konecki
Kathy is an experienced knitter who was taught how to knit by her mother when she was ten years old. She put her knitting aside to focus on a career in the corporate world, but picked up the needles again in 2001 when she decided to leave the stress and intensity of the corporate world behind her. ‘I rediscovered the meditative and relaxing aspects of knitting and really enjoy feeding my creative side, which I generally ignored for most of my working life.”
