About Genevieve Sweeney

Genevieve Sweeney is a British knitwear brand started in 2015 by the designer of the same name. She studied fashion knitwear at Nottingham Trent University and then designed for Hugo Boss, Burberry, Lyle & Scott and Rag & Bone. The studio is at Grandey's Place, a heritage and craft centre near Much Hadham in Hertfordshire, and the web store charges UK shoppers in pounds.

What Genevieve Sweeney sells

• Women's cardigans, sweaters, knitted vests, knitted T-shirts, dresses and skirts, including lambswool, cashmere and tweed pieces
• Men's sweaters and knitted vests, with a brushed wool line
• Socks in cotton, wool and alpaca, plus walking socks, sparkly socks, sock gift boxes and the GS Sock Subscription
• Triangle and oversized scarves, beanies, gloves, children's accessories and knitwear care products
• Monogrammed knitwear and gift cards

The brand's FAQ says around 40% of the collection is now knitted in its own micro-factory at Grandey's Place, opened in 2025 with a computerised flat-knitting machine and restored vintage Dubied machines. Specialist knitters and mills in the Scottish Borders, Derbyshire, Leicester and Oxfordshire make the rest, and most of the yarn comes from Yorkshire and Scottish woollen mills. The studio also mends its own knitwear, from snags and small holes to worn elbows, although moth damage is excluded.
