Our Products We make a range of fashion accessories and textiles for the home. The main fabric that we use is Harris Tweed, which is a handwoven pure wool tweed from the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Everything is designed and made by us. We create all our own designs. We do not use outworkers, so we can guarantee quality. Every item is individually made and hand finished. The majority of our products employ a type of embroidered decoration called appliqué. This involves cutting intricate shapes of fabric and laying them on top of the main fabric before securing them in place using our embroidery machines and sewing machines. Many of our designs are inspired by the ancient Pictish sculptured stones that are unique to Scotland. These stones are decorated with mysterious symbols, intricate knotwork, key patterns, spirals, crosses and zoomorphic forms and provide us with infinite possibilities for decorating our bags and purses, scarves and wraps, cushions and wallhangings. Other designs are developed from the flowers that grow wild in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. Every piece we make is unique. |
