Description
Global Scarves co-founder Alan Foster is a third generation textile producer. His family business was started in England back in the early 70s by his grandfather, Peter Foster.
Peter was one of the first people to produce matchday soccer scarves and music merch. He travelled around Europe selling from venue to venue from the back of his Ford Transit van. In those days scarves were woven blank and then screen printed.
In the early 80s he upgraded to jacquard knitting machines which cut down the labor process and moved into a larger factory based in Leeds, England, with over two million scarves produced at this factory.
