Sharon and Steve moved with their three young boys from North West London to the village of Dunster in Somerset in January 2005 to take over the running of Jacobs of Dunster. Jacobs of Dunster has been a well-established retail outlet in the village for many, many years. The shop is situated in the building of the Olde School House which is centrally placed in the High Street in the heart of the beautiful medieval village.
Since taking over in February 2005 Sharon has introduced many new lines to expand our offering. We have a great range of Ladies, Gents and Childrens fashions and accessories to match. From separates to suits, quality handknits, silks, Cashmere, linens and Velvets and fine quality traditional Country wear.

Here are some examples of the products we can offer.

Countless hours and years of knitting experience go into every Amano piece. There is thought and integrity in the process of creating these precious and distinctive Amano garments. These Amano items are limited editions and take days to make which make them truly individual and special in times where mass production is prolific.

Adini
Adini was founded in the UK in 1978, and was one of the first fashion companies to incorporate creative foreign designs, themes and manufacturing techniques into its collections. The name “Adini” which is an anagram of the word India, and a variation of the Sanscrit word meaning “The Original” was chosen to reflect the pioneering instincts which continue to be a major influence for Adini today. The Adini collections are British-designed and embrace ethnic diversity, these Adini collections encompass both elegance and sophistication, with a casualness that can be appreciated day-to-day.

Dents
The skill and craftsmanship which underpin Dents' worldwide reputation is still very much in evidence, and today the company still exercises that care and attention to detail which has been its hallmark since 1777. Although primarily famous for the crafting of fine leather gloves, Dents has always been involved with the design and manufacture of fine accessories. Today the Dents Collection includes gloves, belts, handbags, hats, scarves, serapes and small leather goods for men and women.

Respect for the Earth and people who make their living from it is a guiding principle for Pachamama. Many of the Ecuadorian and Nepalese people whose hand made goods we sell are smallholders who supplement their income from farming by knitting.
