There is a certain pleasure in recognising something that has been well made. Good design is about using materials that are fit for purpose. The product has to be aesthetically pleasing, has to be functional – and if it has extra character to it, too, well, then that's something else.
1.Hand in hand with good manufacture is having an edited approach to dressing. I like to have only a few clothes in the wardrobe that I wear and wear. 
2.Experiencing something that has worn well in a good quality material that gets better with age, that makes you feel fond of it. It's like getting to know a person you really like – you don't just dispense with them.
3.My father always said: "If a job is worth doing, it is worth doing well." That seeps into you, I think. 
4.Good quality knitwear comes from handed-down knowledge, and you can only do that when an older person is teaching the next person to come into the trade. Good manufacture isn't all mechanised. It's about knowing and handling and about visual things as well.
