In 1976, knitwear designer Paul James opened his mill in the village of Barwell, Leicestershire and exported British made knitwear to some of the most famous shopping destinations in the world. In 2005, Paul James Knitwear Limited was acquired by knitwear factory Jack Masters and relocated to their factory 13 miles away in Leicestershire, England. Since then, we as a family have worked to develop Paul James into the strong, confident brand it is today.
