But I suspect that many people give little thought to where and how their clothes are made, who made them and how long each piece will last. Many people aren’t familiar with our fine British knitwear and textiles design and production heritage, and many people think ‘you knit with wool and you sew with cotton’… it’s not quite that simple!
