What a wonderful celebration!

Although we live just 40 odd miles away it has taken us months to get to Inverness and to THE shop. I felt like a kid in a sweetie shop there was so much gorgeous material and clothing. I came away with a fabulous jacket which I spied as we walked into the shop. I'm hoping an oddment of slinky soft turquoise and blue can be found for even a patch pocket. There was one last top in those colours but it was for a slim and delicately tiny person. I will wear my best ever present with such joy and think of the two lovely helpful ladies in the shop and the lady so thrilled with her Climate tartan top. Now for a trip to the Mill….

The scarf is a delight and I feel thoroughly cherished wearing it

The Aliam scarf is beautiful. Vibrant colors. Lovely way to honor Alan and Miriam and their travels through Scotland. I’ve received many compliments on the scarf. Beautiful.

How lucky was I to receive this gorgeous scarf as a birthday gift, so soft and the design just beautiful, tasteful and greatly admired. What a find, this mill has so much to offer.

I bought this top as a treat to wear at our Burns Supper with my Prickly Thistle Kilt (that I wear often and love). I am a huge fan of Prickly Thistle for so many reasons-the quality, sustainability, talent and most of all the clothes are all gorgeous. Proud to wear!

The sample I received very speedily was beautiful fabric and lovely colours.
I asked the company for an explanation of the stripes, and had a fairly quick reply with this. Thank you for that. It would however have been even better if there was a note about how the fabric came about, in with the original package, because it is very interesting and should really be included together, and good enough to frame with it. But now I have both to put this together myself, which I can do, even if the email isn't pretty, I can stick it onto the back of the frame where it won't be seen. It would be nice to somehow make it elegant enough to be at the front of the frame. I did like that my sample came with a certificate on behalf of the Keeper of the Scottish Register of Tartans tho.

Loved my climate change jumper tee. I work in communications in the environment sector. What a great way to communicate the climate crisis we need to address! Also love the heritage and quality of the piece and the beautiful colouring, regardless of it's stark message. Can't wait to explore more of Prickly Thistle's innovative clothing

My beautiful coat arrived in NZ, even though it’s mid summer, I still have worn it on cooler evenings (it is NZ!). Clare was amazing and talked me through the process of my bespoke order, she was amazing! The coat is beautiful, unique and fantastic quality. So looking forward to colder days (it is NZ, so plenty of them) to throw it on. Can’t recommend this company more highly.

Nice bespoke top good delivery and quality. Good to deal with Small bespoke companies.

I dont have a clan tartan, but I'm adopting this one - a universal message with beautiful colourways - design genius

Soft warm unique and an insouciant whiff of rebellion to wrap around you when you need a snuggle in the gloom - wonderful singing colours and certainly makes me feel badass enough to change the world - which is what live can do - quality excellent- great gift or treat - keep doing what you do 💋💋💋💋❤️❤️❤️❤️

Bought a limited edition 'Black Elements' scarf, the fabric is so beautiful and soft in dark grey and black weave, only had it a few weeks but I love wearing it and feeling like a 'Badass' when I do. Thanks so much.

I love two Climate Stripes A4 frameable pieces, as I wanted to use one as a gift. I do think an A3 size would look even more fabulous .....!

Super hat . Am loving the absence of any seams as well as the warmth and magical softness of the wool. Many thanks

The scarf is just wonderful. Amazing quality and the colours are just gorgeous. So happy to support an incredible business, and I look forward to future purchases.

The colours are exquisite the blanket so soft.

So excited and appreciative to own this beautiful piece of slow fashion art! Thank you

Claire inspired us with her passion, her knowledge and the beauty of the Mill and all the magic it contains. Scottish textiles and innovation all wrapped into one made for a special day out!

Beautifully made, love the local and sustainable nature of the climate tartan and fantastic customer service. Thanks so much x

Apart from the fact that I thought I ordered a brown (earth) colourway and your photo shows brown. It arrived black! But I love it and have worn it already. Got to get black boots to go with it.

Blanket perfection: unique item, vibrant colours, cosy and soft. I'm unbelievably pleased with this purchase and pretty much everyone who has visited my house recently has admired it. Brilliant customer service from the Prickly Thistle - item arrived quickly and was beautifully packaged.

I stumbled upon The Prickly Thistle's shop in Inverness and I became an instant fan of their beautiful clothing. More than that, the team and their "tartan rebellion" is a mission I will gladly support! When I saw the Limited edition Love Hearts Slender Scarf I knew I had to have it. Not only is it soft, vibrant and absolutely gorgeous, it is a meaningful reminder of and tribute to my 37 year old niece who lost her courageous, 2.5 year battle with breast cancer on November 11, 2024. Meg was a shining light, and her favorite colors were pink and purple. I know she would have LOVED this scarf. Now I wear it to honor her memory.

I was traveling in Scotland I September, and was fortunate to find Rebel Row in Inverness. I bought 4 gorgeous scarves, which I wear a lot, and receive many compliments. I had a lovely chat with Claire. I wish I could go on the day trip to the mill, but I’m back in CA.

My new pink scarf is a love, love, love item for 2025 and a local product too!
