Origin knitwear
Origin Knitwear (previously Country of Origin) opened their own purpose-built knitting factory in Wigston in the UK. Through the use of hand-powered and whole-garment machinery, they manufacture in-house, in the same place it’s designed. This allows them greater control of their supply chain, ensuring there is next to no wasted materials—which is a large sustainability pillar of their business. A classic Origin Knitwear piece combines traditional silhouettes with modern colour palettes and knitwear structures. Their designs are recognisable and unique, which is why their garments are so well loved all across the world.
