The sweaters are knit the old-fashioned way—at a Scottish mill that’s more than two centuries old—but there’s nothing fusty about this knitwear boutique, the first U.S. outpost of an upscale British chain, covered in botanical hand-printed wallpaper by London artist Marthe Armitage. With silhouettes that are tweaked classics—cropped-and-fitted women’s cardigans ($435), trim men’s V-necks ($549)—and colors ranging from basic black to deep teal and orange, the sweaters look modern but not trendy, a bit like the clientele’s Céline bags.
