Le Kilt is a small, independent Scottish womenswear brand launched in 2014 and made in Scotland by expert craftspeople using natural materials. Its approach to sustainability is centred on working with a handful of small-scale British manufacturers, reducing wastage, supporting skilled local communities, and encouraging customers to invest in quality and care for garments over time. The brand has also stated a preference for made-in-Scotland and made-in-UK fabrics that last and hold their structure, and has said it does not want to work with synthetic fabrics going forward. Its sustainability position is closely tied to craft, longevity, and buying less but better.

Le Kilt Sustainability Actions

Made in Scotland

Since launching in 2014, Le Kilt has been proudly made in Scotland by expert craftspeople using the finest natural materials; a small, independent business rooted in both the highlands and cityscapes that shape what modern Scottish culture means to us.

Works with small manufacturers

By working with a handful of small-scale British manufacturers we enable our customers to think sustainably and invest in quality; reducing wastage, supporting skilled local communities, and building more authentic, conscious connections with their clothes through understanding where they come from.

Slower fashion approach

In 2018 it ditched the feigned charade of London Fashion Week in favour of the slower, more conscientious Craft Week. For McCoach, ticking off the seasonal checklist felt tired, wasteful and disingenuous.

Focus on lasting clothes

Le Kilt’s clothes are made to last. McCoach says the brand wants garments that fit seamlessly into an everyday wardrobe and can be passed down, with an emphasis on buying something that is made to last.

Encourages mending

McCoach said, “we should be mending, not spending.” She added that it is important to know how to care for things and to appreciate them, and that taking the time to learn how to mend and look after clothes creates conversation.

Le Kilt Sustainability Commitments

2023

No synthetic fabrics

McCoach says she does not want to work with any synthetic fabrics going forward, and wants to continue to work with made-in-Scotland and made-in-UK fabrics that last and hold their structure.

2023

No waste left over

She said, “I don’t want to have any waste left over [either]. I want to only work with things that feel relevant; now and forever.”
