Joyce Forsyth Designer Knitwear

Old Town


The colourful knitwear on show at this intriguing little shop will drag your ideas about woollens firmly into the 21st century. Ms Forsyth’s trademark design is a flamboyant, flared woollen coat (it can be knitted to order in colours of your choice), but there are also box jackets, jumpers, hats, scarves and shawls.
