- The Sweater Shop
I am priviledged to know the Sweater Shop family who sold out in 1995 for circa £150m to a management company that sent it bust. The business was founded in 1973 and the owners, now 75, started as knitting machine mechanics in Leicester Hosiery firms. They now own yachts, private jets and helicopters and are wonderful people. I've only known them for 6-7 years and used to love the sweaters in the eighties. Has anyone thought that they were also responsible for the nice boutique bags which we now see so routinely on our High Street. If you had one of these and took it to school, you were really rocking!
