While there are, of course, plenty of jumper options from both high street and designer brands, I’ve recently been drawn to the entourage of up-and-comers staking their claim for the knitwear crown. With the homespun appeal of crafting reaching its peak during lockdown, it is the perfect time for smaller knitwear brands to gain traction. Some, such as The Knitter and Hope Macauley, have gone all-out with the chunky, handmade look, while labels such as Mad Brown Knitwear have cleverly harnessed the beauty of pre-loved cable knits to create their colourful designs.
We do acknowledge that many of these labels come in at a higher price point but, in most cases, this is due to the time and effort that is put into every garment. It might be something to save up for, but you know that when you get your hands on a one-off design that it’ll be something you treasure for many years to come. Scroll down to see and shop the knitwear brands I’m championing this year.
