Chic Granny Knits Now at Leblas London

Exciting news that Leblas boutique in London is now featuring The North Circular's ethical knitwear accessories. Model Lily Cole and friends came up with the idea of rescusing British sheep by using their luxurious fleece for chic knitwear crafted by 'grannies' around the U.K.


The wool comes from rescued Wensleydale sheep who now live at a sheep sanctuary in North Yorkshire - where they will live out the rest of their natural lives.


A smart curation of The North Circular's collaborative creations are now available at gorgeously curated Leblas London.

The Leblas modern interpretation of filigree metalwork combines traditional European craftsmanship with sustainable production methods and artisanal, small-scale mining. All pieces are handcrafted in slow design fashion out of 100% recycled gold, silver or platinum, sourced from a carefully selected single refinery.

Leblas is also committed to using precious gemstones and diamonds from fair trade approved suppliers, such as the Brazil Gems venture.

"The creative brain behind the business is award-winning designer, Arabel Lebrusan, who uses artisans throughout Spain to achieve a high level of perfected craftsmanship across the range. She started the business in 2007 with Clare Winfield: having both worked intensively in the Far East over the last ten years, they shared an enthusiasm for creating design-led jewellery in a way that was comfortable and sustainable for the workers and which revitalised traditional European techniques. Leblas aims to establish an apprenticeship scheme that will allow the transfer of jewellery-making skills to the next generation before they die out completely, and from this noble goal, we can all benefit." - The GoodWebGuide.Co.UK
