Using up our archived off-cuts of tweed and tartan to help raise money for charity and keep you all safe in style...


If we had told you a year ago that tartan face masks would be the must have summer accessory of 2020 you might have thought we were barmy. But how the world has changed and now we having to adapt to this new way of living and shopping. There is no need to forsake style over necessity, Stewart Christie has the solution with a bespoke face mask.

Over the past few weeks our masks have been gracing the faces of Edinburgh’s most Covid and style Conscious individuals. Hand made to your requirements in your choice of cloth, we have been slowly working our way through our tartan stocks. Being sustainable we tend to keep all the large off-cuts just in case they come in useful...and now they have!

— The Art of Tweed — Tweed is one of Scotland's great gifts to the world. Woven into every strand of this most authentic and rugged of cloths is an extraordinary heritage of innovation and creativity. The Art of Tweed explores the landscapes, textures and patterns of this glorious fabric. From the rolling hills of Scotland's country estates to the rhythmic clatter of looms in our last-surviving mills. From artisan weavers on the Isle of Harris to the high fashion of international catwalks and urban designers reimagining tweed for the streets. Here is a story of romance, nostalgia, sustainability and style - of an effortlessly versatile cloth and its unique place in our lives. Whether fashioned into a flat cap or tailored into a cape, the story of tweed is a story to be shared. Having explored Scotland's boldest fabric in The Secret Life of Tartan, Vixy shares here her love of tweed, mixing her streetstyle background with traditional techniques to give a cutting-edge twist to old ways. Tweed has had its share of ups and downs, but remains steadfast as the countryside's cloth of choice hard-working, purposeful and with an understated style of its own.
