Born in Brazil. Engineered through heritage.
KNIT began in 2020, when two entrepreneurs from a digital marketing and e-commerce background looked at the mask category and saw a product that had been designed for compliance, not for wear.
A gap in the category.
Founders Pedro Zorzi and Henrique Zorzi combined years of digital marketing and e-commerce experience with an unusual asset: direct access to a network of textile manufacturers in southern Brazil's Serra Gaúcha region — one of Latin America's most respected knit-manufacturing corridors.
The insight was simple. Masks that met protective standards were uncomfortable. Masks that were comfortable didn't protect. The category needed a product engineered from the textile up — not adapted from disposable medical stock.
Serra Gaúcha. Machine-knit. Made to a spec.
Every KNIT product begins at partner mills in southern Brazil, using industrial circular and 3D-knitting machines calibrated to our fabric specifications. This is craft at industrial scale — the kind of manufacturing precision that produces a product with no visible seams and consistent, repeatable performance.
Technical claims, verified in a lab — not on a landing page.
Anatomical, seamless fit knit as a single piece — no cut-and-sew seams to fatigue or irritate.
A durable antiviral finish applied at the fabric stage, tested for wash cycle retention.
Replaceable filter cartridge (Spunbond–Melt-blown–Melt-blown–Melt-blown–Spunbond) benchmarked against PFF2 / N95-class filtration.
PET bottles, respun as performance yarn.
Our core fabrics are knit from yarn spun from recycled PET. That single upstream choice reduces reliance on virgin polyester and diverts plastic that would otherwise enter landfill or waterways. Add reusable, filter-refreshed products across our portfolio, and the environmental math continues past the first sale.
