Our History

 

In 1976, knitwear designer Paul James opened his mill in the village of Barwell, Leicestershire and exported British made knitwear to some of the most famous shopping destinations in the world. In 2005, Paul James Knitwear Limited was acquired by knitwear factory Jack Masters and relocated to their factory 13 miles away in Leicestershire, England. Since then, we as a family have worked to develop Paul James into the strong, confident brand it is today.

 

Our Ethos

 

Our decades of knowledge, skill and craftsmanship combine seamlessly with the latest machinery and traditional manufacturing techniques, meaning we can design and fashion exclusively crafted knitwear, for a price that’s fair. Moreover, our sweaters are natural and sustainable, thus reducing our reliance on man-made fibres in our clothing.

 

Our Designs

 

Our collections make the everyday extraordinary. We craft timeless classics and wardrobe staples from the finest cotton, alpaca, merino wool and Lambswool with each piece a faultless combination of form and function. We champion ethically sourced products and the wonders of British design and manufacturing in equal measure.

 

Our Yarns

 

At Paul James we use only 100% natural yarns. Evolved over thousands of years, our yarns are nature’s performance fabrics. Our fibres are skin friendly, breathable, offer outstanding wicking and thermoregulating properties, sustainable, beautiful in colour and handle but most importantly of all, really comfortable to wear.

 

Our Factories

 

We knit, sew, wash, steam and press over 95 percent of our products in our own factories. This means that we are in control of the entire process, with no middlemen. Our yarns are spun by our carefully handpicked spinners, crafted by our teams all across the world, then delivered directly to our customers. By working in this methodical pattern, we can be sure of the integrity of our clothing and keep our prices fair and just for the quality of the materials used.

 

Our Vision

 

Having learnt about the fashion industry from the factory floor up, with a clear understanding of the transient nature of a customer's’ relationship with brands and trends, we focus only on creating the most accessible, luxury interpretations of timeless wardrobe staples, built to last longer than any trend.
