Our Story
Four decades of craft, built on one woman's vision.

Today Who's Who Ltd is one of the UK and Europe's leading knitwear suppliers, delivering excellent design and production across all fashion garments. We are innovative and bespoke in our designs, and we take real pride in customer satisfaction.
