Feel the difference – your must-have cotton knitwear

Dressing for this time of year can be a challenge, can’t it? While winter will soon be behind us, you'll still want plenty of cosy woollens and warm but lightweight knits.

Of course, there’s more to our cotton jumpers than meets the eye. As you’ve come to expect from David Nieper, it’s the way we make our cotton knits that really makes them special. Here are a couple of things you might not know about our cotton collection.

Every jumper is exclusive to David Nieper

You won’t find any of our cotton jumpers anywhere else. Why? Because we design, develop, and knit them ourselves, from first sketch to final stitch, just like the rest of our knitwear collection. The ideas come from the design team before heading across the road to our specialist knitwear technicians, who decide how best to bring them to life. You can read more about how our knitwear is made.

The yarns are sustainable, ethical, and incredibly special

We know that you look for quality from your clothing – and our cotton yarns go one better. For our 100% cotton knits, we use exceptional yarns made by Sesia in Northern Italy, just outside of Milan.

We selected Sesia as our cotton yarn supplier for so many reasons, but most of all their commitment to sustainable production and ethical practice. Their materials are completely traceable and grown in a way that respects and protects the environment; they take brilliant care of their people; and they work in harmony with nature to minimise pollution and waste. Sesia even runs exclusively on renewable energy and has introduced exciting innovations to completely eliminate their CO2 emissions. Seeing as David Nieper recently won the Queen’s Award for Sustainable Development, we can’t imagine a better partner for our quality cotton knitwear.

We make cotton knitwear all year round

Cotton jumpers, tops and cardigans are so versatile – and they’re not just for autumn and winter. In the spring and summer, we add drapey cotton cardigans and lightweight short-sleeved tops to our collections. So, if you fall in love with cotton knits, be sure to keep an eye out for new designs each season.
