I couldn't believe my luck when I stumbled upon Bill Baber whilst wandering around Edinburgh some years back. But I'm far away from there generally, and rely on online shopping with them. Always best... See more

Excellence in every way!

My experience with Bill Baber knitwear has been excellent. The two sweaters I bought are beautiful and I love them. Their customer service goes above and beyond in every way. I ordered two different sizes because one was a gift for someone, and they checked with me to be sure I meant to do that. Sweaters arrived very promptly. Great company! Great sweaters!

My favourite shop in Edinburgh

Bill Baber is the most wonderful shop. I have bought many tops over the last 15 years or so and they are still as good as new - and have not dated at all.

Replacements!

I bought a sweater from you about ten years ago and wanted to replace it, so I was delighted to find that the patterns and quality are just as good when I purchsed two more online recently. I particularly appreciate the fact that your kniwtear is 'different' and affordable compared to hight-street brands.

Sadly the jumper I ordered was much too big, but the customer service for refunding was excellent…. and encourages me to try another purchase later in the year. Website is very tempting.

My most recent purchase from Bill Baber was an impulse buy in the sale which jumped out at me and I had to buy it. No regrets, beautiful well made garment. Also, it arrived the next day, excellent service!

I always visit Edinburgh with the same friend and we always go into Bill Baber where one or the other of us buys something! My turn this time and I got a gorgeous silvery gray sleeveless linen top just which I am wearing today cos the sun is out in London!

So glad Bill Baber survived the lockdown as Grassmarket would not be the same without it!!

Love your creations

Love your creations. Your shop on Grass Market is lovely. I hope I get to visit you there again if I ever get back to Scotland. I’m enjoying my poncho in the spring weather of New England.

My favourite jumper ever!

My two jumpers arrived promptly and have been worn almost every day since! My daughter and I are both thrilled by the fit, the softness, the quality and the colours of our jumpers. I had asked a question about sizing and it was qanswered the next day. We received a couple of friendly and personal updates on our jumpers’ preparation and dispatch. 10/10 and I shall definitely be buying more jumpers from Bill Baber and son!

Beautiful Sally dress bought as a gift it arrived on time perfect. I have been buying Bill Baber knitwear for the last 10 years and am always delighted with my purchases. His designs are timeless and made from the finest materials I have no hesitation in recommending Bill Baber and the variety and colour of designs there is something here for everyone.

Jack and his family at Bill Baber are dedicated, talented professionals!
I love my Fintry jumper, so much so that I have two, one blue and one a gorgeous green. A ‘Sloppy Joe’ in style, it’s like wearing a warm, cosy hug and is perfect for the cooler weather, but also soft and light to the touch.
I love it all the more because it is knitted in Scotland from beautiful Irish Donegal Merino Yarn, truly sustainable, ethical and already has had over 30 wears!

I’ve visited Bill Baber’s wonderful store in Edinburgh many times since 2009 on my almost annual trips from the US. The store is magical to me, with so many designs and colors, and such beautiful quality of workmanship. Shopping there is always a highlight of my visits to Edinburgh, a city I love. I was last there in Feb 2020, a few weeks before Covid began. Recently I missed it so much I looked the store up online and found I could have shipment to the US at a relatively low cost. I was thrilled and received my sweaters very promptly. There is nothing like them in the US. I am so happy and hope I can get back to Edinburgh this year.

Beautiful Scottish knitwear...

I think it's 12 years now that I have been purchasing knitwear for my Oregon coast shop, and Bill Baber products are always very well received. The merchandise is top quality with beautiful colors, fibers, and styles to choose from. The team at Bill Baber Knitwear is always very responsive to communication and very prompt with their deliveries!
