Responsible Knitwear, Made in Leicester

Our UK Factory

At the heart of 23 Foxes is our Leicester-based factory — where design, innovation, and responsible production come together. For over 40 years, we’ve been producing premium knitwear with a focus on quality, sustainability, and transparency.

We handle every stage of production in-house — from knitting and linking to washing, finishing, and packing. Our facility is equipped with advanced Shima Seiki machinery, giving us the ability to produce both fully fashioned and seamless whole garment knitwear across gauges from 3G to 15G.

Made in Leicester, From Start to Finish


Our knitwear begins and ends in our Leicester factory — where every cone of yarn is turned into finished garments under one roof.

With decades of experience and complete control over production, we deliver consistent quality, ethical working conditions, and genuine traceability.

Where quality meets accountability — all under one roof
