Founded by Ruth Alice Rands, women’s knitwear brand HERD is a staple in our boutique.

HERD knitwear is described as ‘Honest as the Earth herself, our knitwear is nature unfurled. There is no harm, no squander, no toxicity, no needless travel. Made in the best of English wool traditions and brought to life. Our knitwear collections are all-natural complementary pieces that embody and imbue all that is the HERD way.’
