The Fashionable Life
Inspired by the draughty, dilapidated estate homes of the English countryside. Family, guests, children and staff all need elegant and appropriate knits to keep out the perpetual chill.
The collection changes regularly as new designs are added. Each piece is hand-knit to order, available in limited numbers only.
