SENSES

The human senses are a vital part of what we do, and while technology and trends move on, our highly skilled team continue to use touch, sight and more than two centuries worth of knowledge in ways that no machine can.

QUALITY TAKES TIME

We know that genuine quality can't be rushed, and we take our time to ensure our products are of the most premium quality. From their raw form to our finished products, we are gentle with our fibres to ensure their beauty and durability are never compromised.

HUMAN TOUCH

In our Scottish mills, as many as 33 people are involved in creating a single scarf, rug or stole and between 32 and 37 might touch a jumper or cardigan before it's ready to be worn and loved. Far from contemporary fast fashion, our fine craftsmanship delivers elegant, timeless designs that you can enjoy for more than a lifetime.
