The LORTON
Special-edition pieces. Made in the British Isles. A homage to great British craft and the beauty of great knits.
Limited pieces of each style are made. They are never repeated. Once they're gone, they're gone.
Lorton is the name of a very special place in Cumbria. It consists of two villages – Low Lorton and High Lorton- nestled in one of the prettiest parts of the Northern Lakes.
Very few people know this little spot, but it’s a place that holds a lot of meaning to me. It’s where I spent many a family holiday, including the last one we took with dad before he passed away. It’s where I got married. It’s where I’ll be taking my children to learn to skim stones and experience four seasons in one day.
Lorton is the name we chose to give to a special collection of limited edition knits. We have launched six knits in the collection to date. These latest two 007 and 008 were released in September 2024.

Stitched and hand-finished in Nottinghamshire
Each LORTON piece is lovingly crafted in Nottinghamshire - taking around three to four hours each to perfect, from knitting to final press.
From start to finish, each knit is handled by eight to nine people.
As the garment makes it way through the factory, quality time is spent linking and hand-sewing the different sections of the garment together.
Checking stitch by stitch, to ensure that each and every single one matches and is aligned. The process is meticulous and delicate, creating the finest of knits.
After all these processes are complete, the garment is then washed and checked again and again before it is deemed ready.
