Prickly Thistle
As of 14th October 2022 we rebelled, and for now have an anti-social media platform policy. Let's connect in a real way, set yourself free from the scroll....
Like always your great stuff is amazing 🤩. Thank you so much for your wonderful work for nature and humans. Love from Germany. Gabi
When I saw an exhibition at the Design Museum of wartime inspired fabric covered in slogans I wondered where the textile designs of today are to deliver the climate crisis message (apart from slogan T-shirts) so when I heard of the climate tartan I knew it was just what I was looking for. I will be wearing an outfit made from it when I take part in Dorset’s COP. It is truly a work of art in itself and I will ensure I don’t waste any of it.
Please accept my thanks for the way you conduct your business. I would be happy to recommend you to anyone this side of the Atlantic. Best wishes and thanks again
My partner treated his daughter & I toma surprise visit to Rebel Row. We met Clare, who told us all about how Prickly Thistle started & then about Rebel Row. Susan also looked after us & we were shown the different garments & tried several on whilst drinking prosecco & eating nibbles! Lovely experience & great that Clare had a dream that has been fulfilled as well as being sustainable. I would thoroughly recommend a visit. You will be warmly welcomed ☺️
PricklyThistle has everything to offer, starting with the ethos of the company and moving all the way up to the incredible clothing. I love it all and VIR membership is the perfect way to support and stay connected with PT, building up some funds to ensure I can keep investing in these wonderful garments.
I have three scarves from Prickly Thistle & purchased a 4th for my mother. The creativity, quality, color & attention to detail are 2nd to none. You will love yours too!!
After purchasing 2 amazing pieces of clothing online last year, I was thrilled to be able to take the tour and meet Claire and the team. So great to see the spirit and joy of creating individual products that last. Thank you for sharing your inspiration and love for highland history. My kilt kept me warm on my amazing journey and I shared its origin as I travelled around in its comfort. It was a privilege to experience. 🇦🇺

Amazing, unique, beautiful. ....
Thankyou
A very special service with genuine care and attention to detail by Clare
Absolutely Fabulous shop with so many different recycled material used for bags and purses l great place for special gifts
Thank you for coming to Inverness ❤️
Glorious reason for the creation of the weave and making the jumper.
Cold weather knocking at our door in Australia, brrrr - perfect timing to wear this statement piece, mmm. Thank you 🙌
I was so fortunate to meet Clare, tour the mill and buy my coat there last September, 2023. So, when this key became available I jumped on it. It is packaged with thought to sustainability and humor and was delivered quickly to the U.S. I am more than pleased!
I received my keyring and love it.
My brother wears my Granddad's kilt and I am wondering if my daughter may one day inherit mine! Beautiful material, nothing like the horrendous school kilt of my youth, smooth, warm and a delight to wear. While I loved some of the other colours available the black is very versatile and can be worn casually or dressed up. The cut is also incredibly flattering, the length practical, not sure what more you could ask of a skirt?!
Absolutely stunning piece of cloth, made with a lot of love and by heart- I've already worn it several times and IT will be my favourite for sure. Not cheap but worth every penny. Would be great if the shipping to Germany wouldn't be that expensive. Thank you so much for your passion!
Fantastic. Beautifully made. Perfect fit as custom made item. Wool is so cosy and soft. Definitely recommend this company. 🥰
Gloves are average quality. Order did not arrive until after Christmas. They arrived January 2, 2024. I feel the profanity used on your website is unprofessional and a poor business practice. I will not purchase from your company again.
Hey Jerry
Thank you so much for your review and we love every bit of feedback amazing customers take time to share with us. We proudly make public every single review, keeping it real is something we feel really passionate about. So sorry that you think the gloves are average quality for the £30 price tag, and also for the later than expected delivery. We received your order on the 19th December and shipped it on the 21st December using Royal Mail delivery option that you selected. Sadly we can indeed see it only reached you on the 2nd January, please accept our sincere apologies for this. We will make sure that everyone is aware that delays may be incurred during the incredibly busy holiday period. We absolutely taken on board your comments about our website, we try to articulate passion for change, a sense of humour and professionalism. We are a very small company, trying our best to disrupt for a more ethical future for all and we have to admit we get a little frustrated with greenwashing, but we certainly do not want to offend anyone. Thank you for your support with this purchase, from the rebellious Scottish Highlands, Best wishes Clare x
Prickly Thistle stands for everything we believe in as a customer and Clare’s vision and her team go above and beyond to make incredible clothing and these gloves were exactly what we needed for our cold mornings and warm afternoons here in Weatherford, Texas! We look forward to many years of supporting this great business and enjoying our visits to Scotland!
This beautiful piece is a little bit of a disappointment only because the whiskey color is more of a mustard color. Had I known the yellow was this dark I would not have ordered this, as I coveted a golden or honey color much more than this yellow. Still, it IS beautiful and I will wear it and enjoy it. It’s a cautionary tale for how colors appear on our devices. Next time I might ask for direct feedback with regard to color tones. I continue to love and support this company to all I can❤️
Wonderful fabric, design and handwork! I will be back for more!&
The scarf is so unbelievably warm. Beautifully made.
Where did it all begin, the why then, the why now and the future of why not?
