Nestled in the far south-west of the British mainland, Cornwall is a coastal county steeped in rich heritage, where the ebb and flow of the sea shapes the landscape and the lives of those that live there. At low tide the foreshore is briefly revealed, uncovering sandy planes before the sea returns to reclaim as its own. Kynance Cove is one of the most beautiful spots in Cornwall, a foreshore set amongst jagged rocks and cliff edges; Kynance Cove was the key inspiration for this sweater.

The traditional knitting of practical, iconic knitwear in Cornwall has been passed down through families and communities, with cable patterns and shapes reflecting the local harbours and villages where they come from. Drawing from the traditions of the Cornish Gansey, the Foreshore jumper is a testament to the timeless art of knitting in Cornwall.

These timeless shaped garments speak to the origins of clothing inspired by the sea. A silhouette to suit anyone and everyone. With each stitch, the Foreshore jumper weaves together a tale of tradition, nature, and the enduring allure of Cornwall’s coastal treasures.
