ABOUT CHINTI & PARKER

With a passion for innovative knit design, London-based cousins Anna Singh and Rachael Wood founded Chinti & Parker in 2009 to bring a new level of tactility to contemporary womenswear. With strong backgrounds in fashion and beauty, and armed with an inherent understanding of what women feel good in, Anna and Rachael sought to combine a playful approach with timeless techniques. They saw an opportunity to inject colour and humour into the current market by using cashmere in distinctive new ways and creating ready-to-wear collections elevated by time-honoured textile processes. Driven by the concept of ‘material creativity’, the brand uses the world’s best yarns to create collections underpinned by sophisticated textures and designs with soul. Today, Chinti & Parker’s ready-to-wear collections feature the finest cottons, softest cashmere and lightest Merinos crafted by the most respected mills across the globe.
