Born between Bogota and Amsterdam, GAUGE81 is a proud celebration of two cultures. Created by Monika Silva Michelsen, of Colombian origin, the brand embodies modern femininity and blurs the line between casual wear and evening wear. The idea was born from the feeling that there was a gap in the market: a minimal, fun, bold, and daring brand - but undeniably feminine - with contemporary transitional pieces that bring sexy to the day and take you into the night.
With her mastery of knitting, Monika launched the brand in 2019. Designed as an unapologetic celebration of femininity and sensuality, Gauge82 sculpts distinctive silhouettes that celebrate and reveal the beauty of feminine features.
The name refers to an industrial term used to describe the weight of the yarn and serves as the creative platform for using an unexpected scale and proportions. Both minimalist and full of character, the brand offers an alternative to the contemporary status quo.
