History

Chouette Kit started with two super creative crafters and artists, Chris & Clo. The original idea, still standing today, was to modernize old fashioned handmade crafts, like sewing and crochet. They wanted to offer more modern solutions, by inventing trendy, ready to make projects sold in kits, with something for every kind of crafter, from beginner to expert!

The idea bloomed, it became a tangible project. Chouette Kit was born in France in 2012. What was at start a huge bet  is now a creative workshop, open minded, idea rich and super-connected.

What hasn’t changed since the beginning of our journey ? We feel like we’re permanently running a marathon. It’s exhausting but also very stimulating. Making new collections so frequently is a bit crazy and overwhelming, but it’s the Chouette Kit’s raison d’être and a huge part of our identity.

Thus, every 6 weeks, for your pleasure, we start with a blank page and we rebuild everything. First we list all the materials we’ve been hunting for weeks, then it’s on with the sketchbooks, on with the ideas, our fashion dreams and our heart’s desires, followed by hours of brainstorming. A path emerges like a story, we then follow that string out of the maze of our ideas, and everything becomes easy. A new collection is born. It looks every bit overwhelming and crazy as it really is, but we enjoy the process!

Des Kits permanents

Et puis, cette année 2018, c’est encore un nouveau tournant pour Chouette Kit avec le développement de deux grands projets :

Ainsi, à votre demande, nous lançons toute une nouvelle série de kits permanents mono-projet disponibles toute l’année sur notre site internet. Nous espérons vraiment qu’ils vous plairont !

Apprendre en ligne

Nous développons aussi la Chouette School en ligne en vous proposant tout un module d’apprentissage gratuit pour apprendre les bases du crochet, progresser et vous perfectionner. Couture et tricot seront aussi présents dans la base. Tutos vidéo, images et explications super détaillées, vous retrouvez tous ces trésors dans la rubrique Chouette School de notre site qui s’enrichira au fil de l’année.

Chouette Kit is an ongoing project that keeps growing with us after years of work. We aren’t going to run out of ideas anytime soon, but a huge incentive to continue on this path is the overwhelming welcome this project is getting. It’s so touching to see the Chouette kit community growing in numbers, thriving first in France and now in Europe. Thank you so much for your unrelenting support.

Happy Chouette Kit
