Welcome

We are an independent shop based in Edinburgh, specialising in Scottish made accessories and homeware. We stock a range of throws and blankets, Harris Tweed ladies coats, scarves and knitting wool.  With a strong emphasis on sustainable living, many of our products have a low carbon footprint and all are made with natural fibres including cashmere, wool, alpaca and linen. Our mission is to celebrate the Made in Scotland story and the talented makers themselves. There is nothing we enjoy more than sharing our makers' stories with our customers so they too can appreciate the craftsmanship skills required to make these beautiful textile products.
