Beautifully woven lace and madras
Our story telling sheers carry an ethereal tactility through our collections. Observing their production within Scotland’s one and only remaining lace mill is serene and symphonic.
The wonder of laces and sheers has always been in their versatility and timelessness. A contemporary style sheer placed within a traditional setting delivers an entirely new dimension of elegance, whilst the converse - pairing a more period surround with an ultra modern sheer - holds an eclecticism all of its own.
Each mill visit to observe the ancient looms looping the cotton threads with perfect precision, portraying our designs as full fabric lengths, further stimulated our curiousity of the process. The skillful weave technicians carefully warping away and the seamstresses darning each piece of fabric to ensure absolute precision and endless beauty.
