Modegeschiedenis
Robert Pringle established the company in 1815 in Hawick, Scotland, originally as a manufacturer of hosiery. The brand gained historical significance by introducing the knitted twinset and popularizing argyle patterns in the 1920s. It was granted a Royal Warrant by Queen Elizabeth II in 1956. Throughout the 20th century, the label influenced the development of leisurewear, bridging the gap between functional athletic apparel and fashion knitwear.
