Guernsey Breton In Frosted Sage & Ecru

The Breton Guernsey is a nod to our French neighbours with whom we share familial nautical ties.

Guernsey, nestled in the southern reaches of the English Channel, shares one of the highest tidal ranges in Europe alongside Carteret, Granville and Mont St Michel.

Victor Hugo spent his exile from France in Guernsey writing some of his most acclaimed work from his home here on Hauteville. Renoir was so moved by our rugged rock that he immortalised our mesmerising shores with six renaissance masterpieces. Dior’s sister, who was born in Granville, bravely joined the French resistance renouncing Nazism, she was arrested and tortured as she fought to liberate France and the Channel Islands from occupation. This is our nod of appreciation to them.

The Breton is knitted on our machines at our mill on Guernsey. It is hand finished, bar tacked with their ends sewn in by our expert team of artisans.

We use 100% British Wool from our mill in Yorkshire who have been producing wool from farm to yarn for over 100 years. The fleece is collected from our sheep, delivered to be dyed & spun within a 50 mile radius of each other.

The wool then makes its trip from the main land to our island - across the English Channel where it is knitted into the iconic British Woollens Guernsey.
