As a British blogger, it's always frustrating to see the lack of British-made clothing on the market. I've always wanted to buy from local manufacturers, and today I want to introduce you to my new favourite shop- Studio British. Studio British is founded by Annabel and Ben, two Londoners with a passion for wearing classic, timeless clothing. They wanted to create a store that sold clothing made in the UK, because they were frustrated with the low-quality and unethical items that are on sale in the high street.
Studio British is awesome for many reasons. First, everything they have is completely made in UK, which means that the quality of the garments are guaranteed to be of high quality. Also, local manufacturers often use ethical and sustainable methods of making clothes, which is better for both people and the environment. Lastly, all of their styles are extremely elegant and chic, and can make anyone look stylish and fashionable!
Today I'm going to be talking about Studio British's John Smedley range- which is catered for women and men who loves elegant, classy sweaters made from British wool, cotton and other types of natural, high-quality materials. I got this lovely unisex Camel Round Neck Jumper (they're on sale) from their lovely site, and also another item which I will be reviewing shortly. I love the packaging of their shop, and the clothing came in a beautiful box with a lovely, gorgeous paper crepe wrapping.
As you can see, the camel jumper is actually gorgeous, as the design comes with a button-down front, which allows you to go for different looks depending on your mood. I chose this jumper because it was unisex, and I thought that I want to go for an oversized, casual kind of look. Of course, their range has a lot of menswear too, so there's something for everyone!
In terms of the quality, John Smedley is one of Britain's finest knitwear companies. They have an extremely long history of making merino wool and cotton jumpers for over 230 years, and I've read all about them before purchasing a jumper. I absolutely adore how Studio British stocks up on only the most exquisite, elegant brands, and handpicks their selection of clothing. The quality of this merino wool jumper is excellent- it's thin, lightweight, warm and absolutely stunning when paired with a skirt of a pair of pants.
In terms of the comfort and fit, the Size Medium jumpers fits me perfectly. I don't like wearing jumpers that are too tight, and Studio British has a lovely, useful size chart for anyone who is stuck on what to buy. I love the John Smedley jumper, as it is extremely comfortable and soft. I've never quite seen anything like this before! Studio British's quality is guaranteed to be trusted!
The second item that I got was this lovely, unique Blue and Indigo Merino Wool Crew neck jumper- this jumper caught my eye because of it's unique pattern. The jumper features a beautiful, gorgeous Aztec print, which blend quite well with the sharp blue colour of the crew. I am always wearing black and white, and wanted to inject some colour into my life!
In terms of the quality, again Studio British never disappoints. The fact that this John Smedley jumper is made in the UK using the finest techniques and materials means that it is one of the most exquisite jumpers that you can get. There's nothing that beats the lightweight feel, soft fabric of this jumper. John Smedley is known as The World's Finest Knitwear, and they received the Royal Warrant in 2013 for it's commitment to quality knitwear and the factory has been visited twice by The Queen!
Lastly, the fit and style of the jumper is amazing. It's soft, fitted and looks wonderful when paired with jeans and some heels. I also love how it can be worn by both guys and girls, though Studio British sells clothing for both genders. I'm super impressed with Studio British's quality and styles- everything they have looks like something out of a fashionable magazine, and I'm in love with their range of clothing!
Studio British is one of my favourite shops, and I've definitely received a lot of compliments when I wear their sweaters. I love how they have lots of UK-made brands to choose from, since you have a lot of choice and can choose something for every occasion. I'm a huge supporter of local-made fashion, since it helps the local economy and environment. I'd highly recommend Studio British!

That blue sweater is so gorgeous! And I love that there is a size chart to make things easier. That definitely helps when doing online shopping.
