Welcome to Cissie's Vintage Knitwear

I was a vintage baby – 1956 to be precise, a time of steam trains, motion pictures and starlets. Gloriously glamorous times, when fashions emphasised the feminine form, with hand-made fitted knitwear creating the perfect silhouette; think Lana Turner!

I adore everything retro, Astaire and Rogers, The Thin Man with Asta the dog, film noir, Biba and I know I am not alone. CISSIE’S VINTAGE KNITWEAR is for those of us who wished we had been born just a little bit earlier.

Original designs from authentic period patterns, using British pure new wool and British knitters to create hand-made, hand-finished, ethical, affordable and unique knitwear with an emphasis on quality and detail. We also do our best to use vintage buttons where possible.

CISSIE’S VINTAGE KNITWEAR believes in backing Britain and reducing negative environmental impact. All of our 100% pure new wool yarns are supplied by a British company who have been in business for over 60 years, purchasing their wool direct from crofters and farmers who live in the Shetland Islands. The yarns reflect the unique characteristics of the Shetland sheep who graze the windswept, heather-clad hills.
