From the open-front knit jackets of the 1920s to the fitted cardigans of the 1940s, knitwear became a staple in every woman's wardrobe. During the war, many women knitted their own cardigans and short-sleeved jumpers from published patterns. In the 1950s, knitwear became softer and more glamorous, with boleros, cap sleeves and fine lace knits.
Our knitwear is designed from original patterns from these decades. Fitted waists, short sleeves, cable details and small collars are kept true to the originals, so each piece works with high-waisted skirts and trousers as well as modern jeans.
Most styles are knitted in merino wool, with some in cotton and mohair. Everything is produced in the EU.
Merino wool is soft against the skin, keeps you warm without overheating and needs less washing than most fibres.
