This week's featured sweater: "Madly, the Wonky-Eyed Xmas Bear"

This is a cosy, magical vintage 90's Christmas sweater by French designer brand René Derhy (now known as "Derhy") featuring pom-pom and sequin details.

Forget "Gladly the Cross Eyed Bear" for this is "Madly the Wonky Eyed Bear", and he's here to make your Christmas even more interesting. Gaze in to that uneven, benevolent yet strangely unnerving gaze and know that you are lost. Let the shadows embrace you my child. For you are at the bottom of a deep, dark well my sweet, and there is Madly, staring down upon you, about to shut out the light forever...

This week's featured sweater is "Trees! Snowballs!"

This is an amazingly thick and cosy handknitted sweater with an all-over print 3D details & pom-poms, 100% wool.

Cor, just have a look at them pom-poms *insert dirty chuckle*. But seriously, the details on this sweater are just incredible and it's in perfect condition. (There are even tiny, sparkly silver threads in the snow). Bring on the cheer this Christmas. But let's hope that if it snows, the snowflakes won't quite be the size of those pom-poms...or that could be dangerous. (Also how long can you look at "pom-poms" before doubting if it actually exists as a word? Pom-poms. Pom-poms. Pom-poms.)

Length: 66cm
Width: 50cm
Sleeve: 65cm

Size: Men's M/L, Women's L/XL

100% wool, hand-made

I still have about 6 more sweaters to list! Such excitement.

For now, here's this week's featured sweater: "Husky Husky"

This a vintage 90's lightweight sweater with an all-over print.

Is it a wolf? Is it a husky? Is it some kind of arctic fox? Well whoever this guy is, he's one cool customer. You will also be a cool customer if you wear this chap (but not body temperature wise mind you, as he'll keep you snug.) Gaze in to those eyes. Become the blizzard. Howl to the moon - AROOOOOOOH.

Length: 56cm
Width: 55cm
Sleeve: 61cm

No label, feels like a wool/poly blend.

This week's featured sweater is "Preppy Bears" - a vintage 90's cardigan from Parisian designer brand René Derhy (now known as "Derhy"), with pompom, sequin and button detail.

Such preppy bears, don't you just wish you could be half as preppy as them? The insouciance with which Left-Bear wears his half-draped blanket and jaunty nightcap would leave even the snootiest Parisian to shame. But on another note, what are those weird grey circles - their cheerleading pompoms? Giant marbles? Extra feet-like protrusions? Answers on a postcard please.

This week's featured sweater is "Gargantuan Rabbit Pastoral"

"The Hills are aliiiiiiiiive, with the sound of ginormous effing rabbits!" I mean look at those things, proportions be damned! The larger one is wider than the river running to right and pretty much the same size as the smaller building next to the windmill. You think those rabbits are dozing peacefully? Hah! Likely digesting their latest kill. These rabbits are no doubt related to the Killer Rabbit from Monty Python, maybe they're his Swiss cousins. Do you like seemingly twee and relaxed pastoral scenes with a much darker undercurrent? This may be the sweater for you.

6 new monstrosities have been added to the shop today! Including this wonder: "A Pink Village & Sebastien the Blind Baguette Juggler"

Behold this beauteous pink creation and its zany inhabitants. See Sebastien, the blind baguette juggler in the top right corner and his sideways-baseball-cap wearing friend who is ridiculously beef (dressed as a cake?). Meet Maud, in the bottom right, the Grandma who gives negative f*cks in her purple jumpsuit and is readying her broomstick (?). On the sleeves there's Phil the Mummy in fancy red lederhosen and last but not least, to the far left there's our saviour: Ghost of a Brown Cactus who wields his Mighty Green Sabre (Banana?) of Truth. Praise be!

This week's featured sweater is "Dapper Rabbit Man by Lamppost" a vintage 80's French sweater with button, sequin and pompom detail and complete with shoulder pads (which are easily removable).

My what a dapper Rabbit Man. Just look how perfectly the lines of his suit jacket melt in to those of his trousers, behold the sequins upon his cravat and be dazzled. How nonchalant is he upon this starless night, with no eyes, no mouth and only a nose, he leans against the asymmetric lamppost. And what of his small dog companion...but wait a moment, what is wrong with small dog companion's legs? Is he bleeding? Are they both standing upon a sea of blood? What have you done Rabbit Man!
