This garment is a Woollykins shop seconds. Why is it a second? It is in brand new condition, but arrived to us slightly damaged or faulty, maybe missing some packaging or just not quite right.
As part of our Seconds/Mended Collection, each garment has been carefully mended by Leah, who has dedicated her time to restoring a high-quality Woollykins piece - ensuring it can be cherished and worn for years to come.
Approximate hours spent mending/cleaning: 15 mins
ReNEWool condition: Mended and in great condition! A very small darn on the toe of one sock. Please see photos for ReNEWool Condition.
Size: 29-30, Shoe 11-12
