Is this company a scam? Claims to be ethical, based in the Yorkshire Dales, animal rescuers etc. But on close inspection the clothes are suspiciously cheap, no contact address, lots of red flags. I'm not going to order, but wanted to check before I report.

A whois lookup suggests it's Chinese.

They've probably copied Izzy Lane who is based in Yorkshire and does rescue sheep. I've been shopping there for over ten years. I just bought a throw as the sheep needed nuts for their winter feed.

It is interesting.. claims of collaboration with hogh street retailers, button makers in the midlands and rescued sheep, needing to close down their shop then a load of really strange items on their website.

Shame.. as some of the designs look beautiful!! It's not possible to see whether they really are made from wool.. but they do look like they come from China. I bought from a dodgy site once (well twice!!).. once the quality was shit and when I tried to return, they offered me a refund of maybe 20% or I could pay for return shipping to China.. the other time, sizes were a bit shit, not everything arrived but I did get a couple of things that I still wear even though not the material I was expecting.. so mostly a miss but overall for the things I kept, still kind of reasonable.

Short answer.. probably China, maybe worth the risk for a jumper that looks OK from a distance but probably won't be wool .. I am still slightly tempted!!

But could instead be swayed by a Lizzy Lane coat. .. @Mercurial123 .. what are they like.. they look like they moght be a little thin and perhaps a little straight up and down..

I have a pea coat and knee-length coat. Pea coat is heavier wool, and the knee length is more lightweight. Both are excellent quality.

@Mercurial123 .. thank you.

The deception is annoying. I don't mind Shein, it's not a brand I'd buy from, but they are up front about what and where they are. Chinese firms claiming to be British, artisan and ethical is just shitty, scam marketing.
