Prickly Thistle Scotland Ltd Sustainability Actions

Wove and made in Scotland

Every fabric we use in our clothes is woven by us in the only mill in the mainland Highland region of Scotland. All of the clothes you see on our store are all also made by us in the only mill in the mainland Highland region of Scotland.

B Corp certified in 2021

We became Scotlands' FIRST B Corp Certified textiles mill and clothing manufacturer in 2021. We started the process in 2019 and through the 'pandemic' years we finally were awarded a pass after an in-depth audit.

Uses natural fibres only

We only make our fabrics and clothing with 100% natural fibres, that is why we do not have petrochemicals in our packaging, that is why our mill is powered by renewable energy.

Makes clothing to order

Made to order means clothing is not made when it's not wanted, a solution right there! We can proudly do this because we carry out many of these processes all under our one roof.

Discloses supply chain

We proudly disclose who we buy from on our Supply Chain Map. In terms of processes for every bit of clothing we make, the only aspects we do not do is shear the sheep, prepare the yarn and finish (wash) the woven cloth.
