Glen Appin Supplier Spotlight

Glen Appin Supplier Spotlight

 

Not many companies can boast quite such a large range of different products while still maintaining high quality with everything manufactured. Harnesses to handbags and pullovers to paper napkins, Glen Appin of Scotland is one of our favourite suppliers!
.
.
Since 1903, Glen Appin have been going strong since then. Originally trading under the name Bulloch, Cowell & Company, they mainly manufactured cloth. In the 60’s the company became limited and moved into gifts and textiles. In 1968 they became Glen Appin and then Glen Appin of Scotland Limited in February of 2014.

Glen Appin designs and manufactures all their products in house from their headquarters in East Kilbride and supplies to retailers across the globe with Scottish gifts and apparel. You can easily recognise them by their distinct golden Highland Coo logo on a black background.

One of their more exquisite products is their range of Harris Tweed bags. Still a staple in Scottish fashion today! Glen Appin only use genuine Harris Tweed as they know that there’s many companies producing copycats of lesser quality.
.
.
Pure Harris Tweed is made using new Scottish wool, as opposed to polyester used by imposter brands. The wool gets its vibrant colour from directly dying the wool and blending the results into yarn. Making the vibrant colours we know. It’s this unique mixing process that gives Harris Tweed its incredible richness.  The cloth is then handwoven in the weavers' homes.

Glen Appin does a brilliant range of pet products as well. Your 4-legged friends can certainly look the part with tartan collar, water dishes and harnesses.

For the kids, Glen Appin makes some of the cutest little boots for babies and toddlers. They can run about in. They have fluffly soft outer and inner to ensure they keep your little one warm. The sole has soft pimples to avoid slipping so they’re perfect for toddling around the house!
