Clan Douglas is the branded division of Hawick Knitwear Ltd producing some of the finest quality cashmere garments money can buy.
Combine the effects of the softest water from the river Slitrig with the outstanding craftmanship of generations of a skilled labour force and you get a very special garment from Clan Douglas. Each piece of the softest cashmere is lovingly crafted with complete attention to detail into a garment of pure, unadulterated luxury.
Clan Douglas have been crafting luxury cashmere for men for over 10 years, and 2010 sees the launch of a new womens collection designed by a local Scottish designer based in the Borders region of Scotland. Aimed at the luxury market, the range is built around statement pieces of contemporary designs with a vintage feel.
- Inspired by the Scottish Borders in terms of colours and textures, the new Clan Douglas Cashmere Studio collection for women, to be launched in autumn 2010, combines the 140 year heritage of Hawick with a modern twist and a contemporary edge.
- The sumptuous feel of cashmere is emphasised by the variety of styles in the new collection. Containing 30 styles, including intricately designed cardigans, knitted dresses with contemporary silhouettes, exquisite twin sets with a modern twist and oversized cowl-neck jumpers, each piece is hand-finished by highly skilled craftsmen and women.
- Scottish cashmere is renowned for its high quality and luxurious texture. Clan Douglas Cashmere Studio is proud to claim its heritage, design and productions as exclusively Scottish. The collection is designed by Alex Feechan, an award-winning designer who has worked with Chanel and Calvin Klein. In addition, each piece in the collection is named after a Scottish poem.
- Only the finest yarns are used to ensure the production of elegant colour details and consistent, superior quality. Inspired by the natural colours and textures of the Scottish Borders, the new collection is contemporary with a vintage feel.
