Ever heard of Macnicol of Scotland? How to thrift/vinted brands that you're not familiar with?
So Im shopping for some affordable (~50 euros) sweaters, and I came accross some nice (supposedly made in scotland) either cachemire or wool sweaters. But most of them are from brands that I can't find anything about them online.
For example Macnicol of Scotland, Lands' End, McNeal and some other

I can vouch for this store which is about as cheap as good Scottish knitwear comes: https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/genuinescottishknits

Welcome to our ebay shop. A small family run based in beautiful Southern Scotland. All our knitwear we sell is made from 100% wool in our factory in Annan, Dumfries & Galloway
and are absolutely best quality at genuine factory prices.
Thats a great recc, im gonna steal that for next fall!
Don't worry if you can't find a particular brand, Scottish knitwear was/is sold under many, many different brands. Though, Land's End and McNeal are relatively big brands.
Also if it says made in Scotland, it’s very unlikely that it is a fake. Just doesn’t really happen with that type of knitwear
Unfortunately we have to pay customs on anything that comes from the uk now so I usually stick to vinted eu/france but ill check what they have and cross refernce it! Thanks!
I see, then as long as made in scotland it should be a safe buy
Check the seller on your local ebay because they may do delivery duty paid which will at least ease the process and may not add too much cost.
Doesnt show up unfortunately, but it shows up in .com so ill check how that would go
