Designer Spotlight-& Daughter-The Perfect Aran Jumper

I came across & Daughter in the January issue of Vogue. It was love at first sight! I'm a big, big fan of the aran jumper. Living in Ireland means that I'm almost continuously cold and so the classic wool knit jumper is a wardrobe staple. At the moment my go-to is from Avoca Handweavers but after stumbling across & Daughter I find myself to be surrounded by temptation.

When I read & Daughter's About page on their website I knew I had found a kindred spirit. This brand is a believer in provenance, heritage, tradition. The three things TTF is all about. I love this description of their brand's ethos, "A desire for authenticity because authentic things last, because authentic things don’t define you but in time, you define them." They are also fans of navy, grey marl and cashmere...Could I love & Daughter any more?!

The Patchwork Aran Jumper

Set up by daughter and father, Elizabeth was a Central Saint Martins graduate, had a background in PR and marketing and was constantly on the look out for the perfect aran jumper. Her father had over 50 years experience in the knitwear industry, and his contacts within Donegal and Scotland made their collaboration a perfect business decision.

&Daughter has only been up and running since October this year but I can see an amazing future for this brand. Their designs are young and fresh but still hinged firmly in tradition.
