Remember the feeling?
That sensation you get when you pull on your favourite jumper? The warmth. The comfort. Like you’ve come back home and everything’s going to be all right?
That feeling. The one that makes you feel good, like really good.
That’s what we’re doing here.
The funny thing is – the favourite jumper wasn’t even mine. It was my mum’s. A navy lambswool with a round neck. A classic.
This is the jumper just here. It's now 25 years' old.
I spent 20 years searching for the perfect jumper. The kind that just feels right - soft, natural wool, beautiful stitching, simple yet modern shaping, and a colour you can depend on.
Something I could wear a hundred different ways without thinking. That made me feel comfortable, confident - even a bit creative.
As someone whose default uniform is jeans and a jumper, I couldn’t understand why it was so hard to find knitwear like the one my mum and I used to share. Nothing ever quite got there - not in sustainability, not in comfort, not in longevity.
So eventually, I decided to make my own.
That’s how Navygrey began - named after the two colours that anchor so many wardrobes, including mine. Colours that feel like home.
I still remember when Anna Murphy in The Times called us “that sweet spot between softness and edge.” That’s exactly what I hoped we’d be. And more.

Built on feeling. Worn on repeat.
From one great British navy knit, Navygrey has grown into a womenswear brand defined by feeling, precision, and pieces worn on repeat.
Everyday dressing, elevated - in natural fibres, with a sense of ease.
‘Never unworn,’ as our customers say.
Our first-ever knit and the reinterpretation of the original jumper that inspired Navygrey.
The RELAXED set everything in motion
One jumper - simple, soft, just right. And the realisation: if no one else was making it, we would.
We work with people who know what they’re doing - makers with decades behind them. We choose materials that earn their place - like 100% Scottish-spun lambswool. Natural. Durable. No compromise.
Traceable. Thoughtful. Never overdone. Many jumpers and cardigans later, knitwear is still our north star.
And as we move forward - with new fibres, new forms - one thing won’t change: It has to feel right. Or it doesn’t make the cut.
Because when you find pieces that feel really good, something that you can really wear like a second skin, that are made with the best of ingredients, that you always look forward to wearing and which you know you can rely on time and time again to make you look good and feel greater still, you know you’ve found more than a garment.
You’ve come home.
"Once you discover the excellent knitwear by this sustainable brand you won't want any other."
