History
It was started in 1972 by John Robinson and Malcolm Webster, and is now owned by Robinson Webster (Holdings) Ltd. John (born 1948), and who grew up in Herefordshire, went on a holiday to Turkey and brought back a sheepskin coat. People wanted coats like his, so he and Malcolm went back to Istanbul and filled an old Post Office van with sixty coats and sold them back in the UK. John and his wife live on a farm in Wiltshire. Now, Jigsaw sell Organics Beauty Products (Lip Balm, Bath & Body Care...) that are Soil Association Certified.
