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....
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!
Warm comfortable great quality
I bought this beautiful scarf as a Christmas present for my wife. She was thrilled to receive “a very special woven scarf” and loves it. The scarf is really soft and the hand-finishing is wonderful. A truly wearable garment to treasure.❤️
The scarf is absolutely beautiful! The weaving and design are exceptional!
I saw your kilts in a magazine and secretly hoped that my husband would notice and get new one for Christmas. The asymmetrical look is my fave thing. I love that it's not a traditional kilt but still had the kilt look. I didn't want to look like I was in fancy dress and this totally hits the spot. I'm a size 12 but don't have a small waist bit this is bet flattering. It looks and feels terrific quality. Thank you for making such a special thing that I hope to wear for many years to come.
Lovely scarf! Thank you!
The scarf is excellent quality and was the perfect gift.
Hello Clare and the team my fabric arrived in plenty of time for me to make and wear my dress on our trip back up to Scotland, fabric beautiful as I expected and so easy to work with. We will send a pic when I next get a good enough signal. Keep up the good work.xx
Stunning colours, lovely packaging and superb quality.
Clare and her team provided outstanding customer service throughout my order. I love my slender scarf and jumper, beautiful and great quality. I am so happy to have a genuine piece of the Scottish Highlands to enjoy on the other side of the world in Australia and to support a great Highlands business run by impressive women
I love my climate change t-shirt - so versatile in terms of colour matches and so cosy, as well as being very different. Thank you so much
The color and cut of this top is on par with the beautiful quality I love from Prickly Thistle. This particular tartan is not as soft as their usual but at the lower price point to support a good cause I am more than happy!
A great "Live Look Book" evening with garments modelled by real women! I had a great time and made some new friends who I will reconnect with when I get back to Scotland. A really friendly atmosphere. Clothing is beautiful and shows that clothes that are produced trying to tread lightly on our planet can look fabulous too. The event has made me rethink my whole approach to buying clothing. Thank you Rebels! :)
Great service, quick delivery and lovely tartan. So soft and warm. Love it
After watching Alan and Miriam I had to buy the scarf now I want the blanket amazing bright beautiful kilt pin and homage to the great pair cannot recommend enough
Lovely fit - it’s looks amazing. I love it - would definitely buy another on this style-shipping was quick, loved the Inverness shop. Very helpful staff.
It took years of saving to be in a position to buy a Maxi Kilt. The goddesses were with me as when the time came to place an order, Prickly Thistle had partnered with another tartan weaver. The resulting Kilt is simply amazing, surpassing all my meagre expectations. The fabric falls beautifully and is soft to the feel. The cut and subsequent drape is flattering to even this older body. It fits in well with my other Prickly Thistle garments.
Beautiful colors! I think I will use it to make a journal cover.
These mittens are so soft, comfortable, and warm! My hands, that are often cold, stay warm in these mitts! And the mittens are attractive as well!!!
I’ve not purchased yet but will be getting an outfit in January for a big event so buying my gift vouchers for that occasion so well excited and at my first meeting about my outfit it was such a lovely experience
What a wonderful piece of instructional, practical artwork. I love it. Your lovely tartan has encouraged my sewing group to try and crochet the same data pattern! Thank you for being a caring company.
Where did it all begin, the why then, the why now and the future of why not?
