40 WINTERS OF WARMTH & HERITAGE

Forty winters have passed since we first opened our shop doors together as husband and wife in 1985.

What began as a small family dream has grown into a legacy of warmth, yet as we reach this significant milestone, we face our toughest challenge to date. This year, we are holding our 40th Anniversary Sale—not merely as a celebration of the past, but as a lifeline to secure our future.

We are clearing our remaining stock to stay afloat, hoping to weather this storm with your kind support. To ensure we see another season beyond this 40th year, we’ve reduced our beloved outerwear—from cosy puffers to classic coats—now up to 80% off.

Each garment you choose helps keep our 40-year story alive. Please help us continue this journey.

Margaret B.

I am absolutely chuffed with this fleece. It’s incredibly soft and cosy—perfect for those chilly morning dog walks or a quick trip to the high street. The colours are lovely and neutral, making it so easy to pair with my favourite trousers. It’s like being hugged by a teddy bear! A proper quality piece from Richard & Helen that I know will last me for many winters to come.

Rosemary H.

I wore it out in the garden today while potting my new heathers, and it kept the chill off perfectly. The pattern is simply beautiful—it has that lovely traditional feel that is so hard to find these days without spending a fortune. It feels much more expensive than it actually was, and the colours are just as vibrant as the flowers! A real credit to Richard & Helen for keeping such quality alive. I shall certainly be recommending this to my friends at the bridge club.

Diane P.

Absolutely brilliant quality. This jumper is properly cosy and the fit is spot on—it’s rare to find something that looks this smart while feeling so comfortable. I was so impressed that I’ve actually ended up buying five different colours now! It’s my absolute wardrobe staple. A top-notch piece from Richard & Helen.

Sheila R.

I first discovered Richard & Helen over ten years ago at a local craft fair, and I’m still wearing the very first jumper I bought from them! This new cardigan is just as brilliant as my old favourites. The knit is thick and properly cosy, which is exactly what I need for those brisk mornings here in Yorkshire.

Brenda M.

I’ve had my eye on this burgundy puffer for a while, and I’m so glad I waited for the Revival Sale to snag it! Honestly, it feels like a total steal for the price I paid. The quality is brilliant—it’s thick, properly cosy, and the colour is even richer in person.

Wendy B.

I’ve had so many people ask where I got it! The quality of the knit is simply superb; it’s thick, soft, and feels incredibly premium.

Janet T.

I originally bought this bright blue puffer for myself because the colour was just too lovely to pass up. But once it arrived and the rest of the family felt how soft and cosy it was, I ended up ordering three more! My husband and even our daughter have their own now. It's the perfect weight for our unpredictable British weather—warm enough for a brisk walk but light enough to not feel bulky
