Prickly Thistle
The Prickly textiles mill opened in 2018, just a few miles north of the Highland capital, Inverness. The innovative brand has developed a unique zero fabric waste methodology to
clothing construction, using their own woven wool tartan fabrics. The results are iconic pieces that do not follow the “rules”, designed to be loved more, worn more and infinitely recyclable.
“Contradiction” Dress
A creation born from self-imposed ethical restrictions but as a garment has no restriction in size and style, a true creative contradiction. Made with Prickly Thiistle’s own woven wool fabric, the fabric tartan design used is called The Black Element.
