Sylvia Plath - The Bell Jar - New Interpretaions of a Modern Classic




Bell Jar £360 @ Jaggynettle.com
Jaggy Nettle, one of the latest companies to emerge from the Scotland’s growing pool of textile talent, has launched a range of exclusive hand-printed Scottish cashmere jumpers inspired by classic book covers - and a new website.

Taken from iconic literary works housed in Faber and Faber’s  80-year archive, the vintage book covers were the muse for the company’s new collection.

Created by ex-fine artist Jason Lee and textile designer, Emily Quinn, the range has been designed to challenge the concept of peoples' interpretation and judgement of others through the clothes they wear.

The new collection features selected titles including David Hare’s ‘Slag’, Samuel Beckett’s ‘Play’ as well as Sylvia Plath’s ‘The Bell Jar’ in limited editions of 10. Other items in Jaggy Nettle’s range include Harris Tweed and Johnstons of Elgin Tweed footwear and limited edition Japanese selvedge denim.
