Luxury brand Corgi launches line worn by Jodie Whittaker, coinciding with visit from HRH The Princess Royal.
Luxury brand Corgi has teamed with BBC Studios to launch the range of Doctor Who knitwear worn by the Thirteenth Doctor – Jodie Whittaker – in the latest series.
Corgi’s Doctor Who range will include 100% cashmere socks, wool socks, a cashmere scarf, a wool scarf and a hand-made cashmere and cotton blend jumper. Products range in price from £19 up to £295.
All the luxury yarns are sourced from suppliers in the UK which use yarns from sustainable sources. The knitwear is made using traditional hand knitting techniques and hand finished to the very highest standard, with all the products made in the UK at Corgi’s factory in Ammanford, Wales.
The range was designed by costume designer, Ray Holman, who has worked on Doctor Who and Torchwood.
The launch coincided with a royal visit at the Corgi factory in Wales, with Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal arriving to meet staff in her capacity as president of the UK Fashion & Textile industry.
Princess Anne was shown the new Doctor Who range as part of the visit and presented with a cashmere Doctor Who scarf as a gift.
“We’re very excited to be working with BBC Studios on a product range for Doctor Who,” said Corgi’s Chris Jones. “Working with the creative team, we have produced a beautiful line of distinctive knitwear and socks that deliver both style and high quality that we hope fans will love.”
