This exquisite piece of cloth was cherished and eventually became a significant relic of the final Jacobite rising, symbolizing the hope and struggles of that tumultuous period.

The Tartan Genesis
The Tartan Genesis collection thoughtfully looks back through tartan’s rich and diverse history, culminating in a collection that is remarkably unique and distinctive. Consisting of six historically significant patterns, this exquisite collection celebrates the beauty and intricacies of tartans before the advent of the uniformity of Clan setts, highlighting their individual stories and heritage.
From Scotland’s oldest true tartan, with its rich historical significance, through its military applications and notable association with the Jacobite Rising of 1745, to the vibrant period of the Highland Revival where talented weavers skillfully put their mark on tartans, showcasing their continuation and enduring legacy. For the very first time in any carefully curated stocked tartan collection, the traditional herringbone selvedge has been thoughtfully brought back to life – taking inspiration from a renowned weaving technique that has been consistently admired across various historical patterns.
