Winter Warmers: The Scotland Shop
Words: Violet
There is nothing better in this big winter chill, than wrapping up, outdoors or indoors, in some beautiful cashmere. No other material encapsulates all that warmth, comfort and luxury better and one place where you can find top quality cashmere in spades is The Scotland Shop.
Filled with every attire you can think of and brimming with Scottish tradition and heritage, The Scotland Shop is the perfect place to satisfy all your winter needs. From 100% pure cashmere throws (£475) tocashmere cable knit gloves (£38) to the perfect memento for all golfing enthusiasts, The 2014 Ryder Cup Collection Cashmere Scarf (£85). All these items are steeped in luxury, beautifully constructed and, more often than not, will come in a handsome tartan or check pattern. This trend is continued throughout the rest of The Scotland Shop with everything from men’s socks to ladies hair accessories being emblazoned in the tartan pattern.
Originally founded in 2002, The Scotland Shop has gone through many changes and re-imaginings since then with the store originally selling Scottish crafts, gifts, food and textiles. Throughout the next 10 years, The Scotland Shop dropped the crafts and food (it was just too complex and US customs wouldn’t let their haggis in!), translated their site into German, French, Italian and Spanish and introduced much more choice when it came to traditional and formal mens and women’s attire. This included tartan tailored womenswear, tartan dresses and tartan shoes and boots.
Now, it may seen that they have gone a bit tartan-mad, but when you see the quality, precision and thought that has gone into each garment, their tartan choices all seem completely justified. So, if you are seeking instant style and are ready to wear with unshakable confidence, select a piece from The Scotland Shop today.
