Wool & The Gang, Save the Children Christmas Jumper Day

Wool and the GangWool and the Gang was created by Aurelie Popper and Jade Harwood, who met at Central Saint Martins and wanted to create a knitwear brand that was sustainable yet fast. Their hand knitted collection is made by a gang of global, home based makers and along with their Knit Kits, everything they create is unique and produced in an ethical way.

This Christmas they have got together with Save the Children and the British Fashion Council and asked 14 British designers to create bespoke designer jumpers to be auctioned in aid of Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day on Friday 13th December.

The Wool & The Gang hand knitted jumpers have been customized in each of the designers own unique style and are on display at the Village at Westfield, Shepherd Bush.

If you fancy owning a specially created sweater by designers such as Burberry, Henry Holland, Vivienne Westwood, Paul Smith and Alexander McQueen, to name but a few. You can bid from now until the 28th of December, by simply paying £1.50 and texting the name of the designer to 78484.

The nice thing about this auction is that it isn’t just about the highest bidder as the lowest unique bid that only one person makes, wins
