Earth - We won't let you starve
Air - We won't let you be breathless
Water - We won't let you drown
Fire - We won't let you burn

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.

The cost breakdown for this garment is;
Fabric Cost £60.83
Labour To Make £19.25
QC, Labelling & Packing £3.00
Overheads (incl insurance, premise costs etc) £16.62
Total Cost To Company £99.70
Ethical Pay It Forward Mark Up x 0.6 £60.30

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 £160 divided by 468 wears, Cost Per Wear 34p!

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!

We want to help be part of the solution that drives regenerative change. Buying less, loving more, paying ethical prices and feeling awesome is what we are all about.

To do that, we have these yes we give a sh#t options for you!

Banner scarf ❤️

I recently was watching a program called “Men in kilts” while Sam & Graham wondered around Scotland they stopped at a wonderful business that is making tartan on a antiquated machine. I was amazed at the beauty of the tartan, and was also inspired to do a little sleuthing online. I was so happy to find Prickly Thistle. After looking around their web store I decided to purchase the banner scarf for my wife’s upcoming birthday. A short while later it arrived. She absolutely loved it! This scarf looks like it was made specifically for Quinn. Thanks so much for your amazing ethos and style, we hope to visit soon. Thanks again, cheers!

The scarf is of the highest quality. It is so much better than in the pictures. It was also beautifully packaged with a card, bag and enclosed in tissue paper. Will be getting more items from them for my wife.
