    I learned about Prickly Thistle in my Wee Box this month, so I went to the website and purchased the Elements Slender Scarf. This is a magnificent piece of clothing. I live in Michigan, USA, where it is cold six months of the year. This beautiful scarf will keep me toasty warm all winter long and it looks fabulous. In addition, it is a symbol of my Scottish ancestry and makes me feel like a bad ass rebel when I wear it. I'm in love!

    Flowing like the Ocean

    I was so excited to open the beautifully packed box and feel this Elements water light scarf. It exceeded my expectations, the colour is a beautiful shade of blue that reminds me of the striking mediterranean sea. It is luxurious, soft, lightweight and so warm. It’s obvious how much care and love has gone into making this scarf. Prickly Thistle are a step ahead of the rest and every piece is an investment and something to treasure forever. I have a few other pieces that I love, but was particularly excited to get this one as blue is my favourite colour. Thank you Clare & Team.

    Hey Vicki, we LOVE these pictures but more than that you 100% get what we trying to weave into the world again, buy less love more. The single use disposable cheap world not only damages the planet but we lose that sense of connection and love for things. Investing with pride we think is something you cannot put a 'label' on, it comes from when you know.... no labels required (makes it more fun and secret too :)) x

    For all of our made to order items we can usually have your made to order and measure clothing to you within 2 weeks, when our fabric stores have your fabric on the roll.

    For all items ordered as part of the 4 X A Year Club, we can have your clothing to you from as early as 2 weeks or it may be up to 8-10 weeks if we need more fabric. As we are weavers, its super handy right! No waiting months and months for items to pass around various factories, we do it all under one roof.

    Here we proudly share with you our less than x 1 mark-up that we apply, and how this garment has been costed.

    Most brands in the 'fashion' world add multipliers of x 2 for wholesale then add another x 2 for retail. When you buy direct from us its a less than x 1, we use the profits from everything we create to support more fairly paid jobs and push the textile world to be more eco-conscious. But we do a lot more like donating to charities and education bodies. This is what we proudly call our ethical pay it forward mark up. For full information on this, check out our full process and pricing page.

    Fabric Cost £19.75
    Labour To Make £15.00
    QC, Labelling & Packing £4.00
    Overheads (incl insurance, premise costs etc) £5.81
    Total Cost To Company £44.56
    Ethical Pay It Forward Mark Up x 0.8 £35.44

    For Cost Per Wear (CPW) we just wanted to share how buying less, paying ethical prices, loving and wearing more is actually really affordable, its all about the number of wears!

    You wear the item 3 times a week for the next 3 years, that is 468 wears. The CPW is £80 divided by 468 wears, Cost Per Wear 17p!

    Read more about our transparent pricing and processes here.

    It is something the 'fashion' world in particular is really bad at.... but we are bad-ass so nothing to hide under this piece of tartan, nothing bad but maybe an ass!

    LOVE THIS!!

    This jumper is so cute, goes with everything, and is striking to wear. it's also not "too warm" which I was concerned about. The wool is so breathable, it's a great layering piece. Bravo Prickly Thistle!

    So Glad We Came!

    The factory tour was one of the highlights of my recent trip to Scotland. I’ve been a fan as well as customer for a couple of years, so a chance to get to see the actual process and speak with the craftspeople who are making it all happen was an incredible experience. Now if I can only convince them to let me buy the draped waist kilt in the Earth Day tartan that’s part of their archive….

    Best Scarf ever

    I absolutely love this scarf and the fact that it is ethically made is a super bonus! I love Prickly Thistle and all this company stands for. They are truly bad a$$!

    Maxi Kilt Rebel Edition

    What can I say about this kilt? It is so soft, so comfortable, so pretty. It matches everything, it’s useful as a cloak as well as a kilt. It works well as a warm skirt instead of the polyester puffy ones if you live in a cold climate. It will definitely keep your legs warm.

    I get so many compliments on this kilt. It is stunning and I love it so much!!

    Love the ‘popping’ colors

    The colors are lovely and brighten up my dat. Love to wear my scarf (even indoors, I like a warm neck and huddle in my scarf). If there’s a bright blue verdien I would buy that one as well 😁

    Timeless Beauty Cleverly Wrought!

    This is an exquisitely designed and expertly executed hallmark of Prickly Thistle's ethos!!! Versatility and thrift melds with effortless sheik and universal style. Historical reference is just under the surface with expert pattern weaving and just jaw-dropping materials. Every purchase I have made from Prickly Thistle is a fashion statement; every piece is testament to historical and environmental ethics; every piece reveals the sensitivity of and reaction to responsible environmental and historical commitments; and finally, every piece illustrates the clever and curious minds that together design and weave such gorgeous garments. In short, I'm gobsmacked every single time!! I would gladly volunteer my services and be the most enthusiastic cheerleader, pom-poms wildly shaking, for this glorious enterprise! Woohoo!!

    Warm and Cozy!

    I was looking for a new warm winter hat and did not expect to find this at the pop-up store in Chelsea. This hat hits all the right notes! It is thick and warm and beautifully made. I’ve seen other hats that are similar in style, but thin and really cheap in comparison. So glad I bought this when I did!

    Couldn't love this top more! It goes with everything - you can dress it up or down. I was so surprised how cool you stay even in warm weather. There's nothing like it so you're sure to have a unique look and wait for it...be comfortable at the same time! Kudos to Clare and team on a fab top!!

    Tee X Limited Edition X Coorie Caramel
    A Dashing (and Dotting!) Tee

    I was intrigued by the short tees when they were first released, and finally was able to see them in person when I visited the mill in September 2022. I immediately fell in love with the Coorie Caramel Tee. Its very modern weave doesn’t look at all like a traditional tartan, but the fabric and texture speaks to the same loving traditions that Prickly Thistle is dedicated to.

    For me, the asymmetrical designs created by the no-waste approach to cutting and sewing garments makes for a stunning top. I received several compliments when I first wore it, and people were amazed that it was from a tartan mill!
