A Day in the Life of Rachel Carvell-Spedding, Founder of Sustainable Knitwear Brand Navygrey

Navygrey founder rachel carvell-spedding poses in her pop-up store.

Rachel Carvell-Spedding never set out to launch a fashion brand, but when her 20-year search for the perfect jumper—one just like her mum's old favourite—continued to come up short, she decided to simply make her own. And so, in 2019, Navygrey was born. The concept? Beautiful, long-lasting and timeless knitwear made from natural, traceable wool, that's designed to slot seamlessly into the modern woman's everyday wardrobe, and feel like home.

Unsurprisingly, the brand was an instant hit; its jumpers quickly becoming much-loved, endlessly worn go-tos for sustainability- and style-conscious industry insiders—and beyond. Since, Navygrey has expanded its offering to include all manner of knitted staples, from cardigans and jackets to accessories and tees, as well as jersey and linen fabrications—all with the same easy-to-wear ethos, and dedication to sustainable practices and exceptional craft.
