Love it so original and warm

This was a Big purchase for me but it ticks every single box. The ethos of the company, the quality of the fabric, the style, it’s just gorgeous. My husband’s words when I put it on, sums it up…”oh my god, that’s fabulous….and it’s so you”. I smile every time I put it on. Enough said really.

Everything about this company is Prickly Marvellous in my opinion, from their work practise and work ethics to their super scottish regal logo-not to mention the fabulous designs & triffic tartan colours-they may be a little on the pricey side but again in my opinion you can't put a price on quality and individuality-and their styles are worth saving up for. 👍Up The Rebellion🫶-keep up the good work.

This is an amazing belt. Everytime someone comments on it I tell them the climate change history behind it. Win win!
It is very looooooong so I think of novel ways to wrap the length round me. More suggestions welcome!

I live in the tropics and I am a wimp when it comes to cooler weather. This robe has become my go to for festivals and comfortable travelling in the northern hemisphere.
Customer service was great too, allowing me to pick up from the Rebel shop

Stunning colours

I am absolutely delighted with my t-shirt - though to me its more of an over-shirt - receiving many positive comments, and signposting people to your website. I wear it with denim and would dearly love one of your belts, but they’re too wide for my belt loops. Any chance of a narrower version, say 11/2”. That would be so good!

The whole ethos of the Prickly Thistle is wonderful. Preloved jeans and tartan delights are so refreshing. I invested in a pair of immaculate pre loved Levi 501’s and i am delighted with them.

In these dreadful times caused by human actions, being able to do something to help reduce waste and fast fashion by purchasing pre loved and ethical items makes me feel more optimistic and i encourage everyone to do the same.

I can’t recommend the in-store Tartan Talk experience highly enough! Thank you Susan - it was both entertaining and informative, offering a fascinating insight into Scottish heritage and craftsmanship.

The products in-store are not only innovative and stylish, but most importantly, they’re lovingly designed, crafted, and made right here in Scotland. You can truly feel the passion and authenticity behind every piece.

It’s also possible to visit the mill where these beautiful items are made—that’s definitely going on my to-do list!

I absolutely loved visiting the mill! To see how the incredible team constructs the designs is fascinating and not only do they take the time to explain what they're doing, you can hear and see the looms working. It's an amazing experience and I'd recommend it for anyone.

I love this scarf, it is soft and beautifully made. The weaving is unique and the colors really pop. I will be purchasing more items in the future.

Best way to purchase garments.
Without the major outlay.

I love everything about my kilt and LOVE the company!

I made my wife and sister in law come to the mill tour and they enjoyed it as much as I did. Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was a real privilege to see everyone at work and to witness the making of the Witches of Scotland Tartan. I cannot recommend this tour enough.

Wonderful as always

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Prickly Thistle weaving mill. What Claire & her team are doing is an inspiration towards a sustainable future. People & planet before profits must be the way of the future! After, we headed to their flagship store Rebel Row where I ordered a contemporary kilt. I'm very excited to wear it this winter in Australia!

My Wee Lassie has been looking at the Wild Robe for a while and showed me the style and story behind them when she first saw it a few years back
As our wedding anniversary was coming up and she showed it to me again this time in the Black Elements, thought I would surprise her and enlisted the help of DD (aka Darling Daughter) to use her shoulder measurements and adjust for her mum.
We contacted Prickly Thistle about the length, as my Wee Lassie is indeed wee at under 5 foot. Clare responded and we sorted it all out. Clare thank you for you patience to my sometimes naive questions.
When the Wee Lassie got it and tried it on, she was delighted with it, and one of her first comments was the pockets were in the right place. I guess when things are designed for someone taller, and hemming is the only adjustment made, then invariably the pockets are too low for the shorter individuals.
Not this case, as Clare and her Rebel clan nailed it!!
Many thanks for the time and effort in sizing and making this for my Wee Lassie.
It is much appreciated.
Best wishes to all from Canada...

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
