Chunky Knit Cardigan in grey marle, also in natural
Soft-knit aran cardigan in creamy wool
Patterned knit cardigan with ‘fair isle’ design
The bibico knitwear is guaranteed to delight you. 100% wool, which means no synthetic nasties and extra warmth. Each garment is made by hand, knitted in the foothills of the Himalayas in Nepal by talented women who work from home and are part of a Fair Trade co-operative. Nieves, who particularly loves designing knitwear, spent time with them earlier this year when she delivered her patterns. She ended up trekking around the hills visiting women in their homes (a job made all the more difficult because the Maoist factions had effectively shut everything down, hence the walking). So, a lot has gone into getting these lovelies ready. We hope you like them.

Fairground Luck
Posted by sally, August 23, 2010
The inimitable Chrissie Hynde, Prentenders frontwoman and PETA activist, is designing a vegan fashion line called ‘Fairground Luck’. Set to be released this Autumn we hear it will be the animal friendly version of a rock musicians wardrobe…t-shirts, skinny jeans, cowboy boots and faux-leather jackets. More specifically she’s taking inspiration from her friend Emmylou Harris’ style whilst designers Todd Oldham and John Bartlett are giving her a helping hand.
And what of the name? Well it’s a bit of a love story. JP Jones (who grew up on a fairground in Wales) approached Hynde in a bar in London. They flew to Cuba together, fell in love, wrote some songs and now…..starting an eco-conscious fashion label. She loves fairgrounds too. The video is a song of the same name that Hynde told Jones to write after he wished her some ‘fairground luck’ before she played a Pretenders gig.
