Catherine Aitken's studio is in Leith, Edinburgh, where she creates bags, scarves and other accessories for both men and women from Harris tweed and other high quality materials. Catherine sent some of her products for me to have a look at. All are beautifully-made.
I love bags made from tweed. As a material, it's strong, comfortable and the colours go with anything. The duffel bag is robust, comfortable to use and well-designed.
Lovely products,
ReplyDeleteI’ve been looking for a smart, functional and timeless backpack myself recently, although with a little more rain-proofing than tweed unfortunately.
Spotted a Filson backpack on Mr. Porter before Xmas, which now seems to have disappeared...perhaps a good thing considering it's price tag was skyscraping - but came across a very similar style thanks to Stighlorgan - handmade in Ireland by ex-fishermen, with the finest and toughest material detailing -http://www.stighlorgan.com/ - perhaps worthy for a Grey Fox post?
