Press Release Summary: Christmas Knitwear Company Begins International Supply on 19th September 2008
Press Release Body: A savvy supplier of snowman sweaters, pudding pullovers and reindeer knits could have seasonal shopping stitched up for connoisseurs of kitsch festive gifts. The natty knitters at Christmas Jumper (http://christmasjumper.co.uk ) launched the business in September, 2008. Based in Manchester, the kooky company has a full range of classic novelty sweaters ready to fill the nation's stockings on December 25.
Following unprecedented demand from the USA and around the world the British firm has been gearing up to supply their international neighbours from September 19th 2008.
Sported on screen by the likes of Gyles Brandreth, champion of the comedy jumper, a patterned pullover with Santa and snowflakes has traditionally been the bad gift territory of grannies and great aunts. The company is turning the Christmas cliché on its tinselled head, transforming the much-maligned novelty knit into an ironic fashion statement.
Its homespun garments include all the festive favourites: a tasty Christmas pudding, Freddie Frost the snowman, party Santa, plus a selection of chunky granny knits replete with reindeers and snowflakes. All jumpers are a high-quality wool/acrylic blend and come in four sizes, for fans who want to fit out the whole family.
The irony is not lost on BBC television, which has requested two jumpers for its new sitcom 'Not Going Out', starring Lee Mac and Tim Vine.
Rafael Fernandez, Christmas Jumper co-founder, says: "Retro Christmas jumpers are having style revival. Web forums were aflutter in the run up to last Christmas with seasonal shoppers searching - in vain - for novelty knits. Our range of retro sweaters is exclusive to Christmas Jumper - you won't find them on the high street or through another online store. They're an essential addition to any festive wardrobe, whether for comedy value at the Christmas party or as genuine gifts for trend setting fashionistas."
The jumpers cost between £35 to £40 (around $70) , and can be ordered online at www.christmasjumper.co.uk , with delivery within 14 days.
