A little vintage jumper with a whole lot of personality. 🍂
Darned by me from a preloved vintage Tesco pure lambswool jumper, this russet brown beauty has been given a colourful new lease of life with bright, patterned darning patches. Think visible mending, happy little pops of colour and wonderfully wonky details that make this piece completely its own.
The rich, earthy brown makes the perfect backdrop for the riot of colour stitched across it, while the classic V-neck and turn-up sleeve cuffs keep things cosy and timeless. It's the kind of jumper that feels like a warm hug, with a playful twist and a story stitched into every patch.
A little celebration of mending rather than hiding, giving a well-loved piece another chapter and making something truly one of a kind. Wear it with your favourite jeans, layered over a floaty dress or whenever your outfit needs a little extra joy.

A little note
Visible mending is all about celebrating the life a garment has already lived, rather than pretending it's brand new. Every colourful patch adds a little bit of character, making this jumper a wearable piece of art with plenty more adventures ahead. Little imperfections are tiny reminders of its previous life and part of its charm x
