    I love your whole concept and the beautiful tartans you have created to raise funds and awareness while helping to improve the lives of ordinary people throughout Africa by using one of the distinctive symbols of Scotland – tartan.
    I was wondering if I as a designer could get my hands on some of that tartan for future collections and one off garments, we can highlight the issues in the areas related to the different tartans. Let me know where I can order from please.
    Many thanks

    There are a few fashion designers in Swaziland, some from abroad and some local, yes. Its a small and almost non-existent industry though, compared to neighboring south africa.

    hello david

    Can you tell me a little more about the designs and where the tartans are sourced - to see if I can help in any way.
