With a life-long love of knitwear, Steph Trickett is fulfilling a personal ambition with the launch of ‘THE . . .’ – a new clothing brand focussing on timeless essentials.
THE . . . offers staple knitwear items which are expertly made in Scotland from beautiful wool to compliment your existing wardrobe. At the heart of Steph’s business model is a desire to create key pieces of clothing which will become cherished items worn over and over again.
After studying fashion at Winchester School of Arts, Steph embarked on an exciting career in the fashion industry specialising in Product Development and Buying. The mum of two has worked as a Buyer for a variety of brands, including well-known British names such as Paul Smith and Cath Kidston, as well as smaller family businesses, where she has helped turn individuals’ visions into reality. The launch of THE . . . is the culmination of Steph’s skills and experience and her own ideas for a fashion brand focussed on creating products made with care, purpose and integrity.
The debut collection features five styles, all carefully selected by Steph, including: The Cable Knit Jumper, The Cable Knit Cardigan, The Contrast Cardigan, The Crew Neck and The Merino crew. The collection features soft lambswool and beautiful Merino wool designs in carefully considered colours, including olive green, cobalt blue and soft pink. The two crew neck styles are unisex adding to the versatility of the brand.
With a focus on sustainability and the desire to avoid surplus stock, THE . . . operates a pre-order model allowing Steph to order the knitwear in small runs making each item that little bit more special. The collection can be viewed online at thedotdotdot.co.uk with pre-order available now and delivery set for November 2025. If you would like to see samples or discuss collaboration possibilities Steph would love to hear from you!
