Remember the feeling? That sensation you get when you pull on your favourite jumper? The warmth. The comfort. Like you’ve come back home and everything’s going to be all right. Navygrey takes the time to create things that bring that feeling back. Inspired by a 25 year old jumper owned by our founder Rachel’s mother, Navygrey makes things that make you feel good, look good, and allow you to do good. Natural, traceable, increasingly regenerative – crafted by the best people. A jumper that’s made of the purest wool and with love. That’s created from the fleeces of sheep who’ve been well treated, who you could even meet if you wanted. Sheared by proper craftsmen, then carefully washed and spun with skill. Wool that’s dyed without harsh chemicals, then knitted by experts with a lifetime’s experience. That doesn’t harm the planet, and that can even help it grow back. A jumper that isn’t about this season’s latest trend. But that is always stylish. A jumper that you can wear every day. But that’s far from everyday wear. A jumper that’s timeless, because you never, ever have enough time.
