It’s refreshing to see a collection that has no interest in trends. The pieces designed by Rachel Scott for Diotima, founded in 2021, are all unique and artisanal. The crochet pieces making up the bulk of the collection are all hand made in Jamaica. They exemplify the unique skills needed to execute in such an impeccable manner.
