i am personally in love with the Scottish checks and would definitely contact you for this fabric once i open up my label. but if anytime you need to get apparels designed i can freelance them for you :) because i love playing with checkered fabric
I absolutely love tartan, and used some reclaimed tartans and tweeds in my final collection at uni.
Do you still produce tartans in Scotland? I am hopefully going to be working on a project soon, and will look to source sustainable tartan - or even scraps/end of line...
Do you think this is something you might be able to help with?
Hi David
Thanks for the enquiry. We make traditional East African fabrics - masai blankets in acrylic and cotton kangas / kitenge (the traditional wraps worn by women). Brands like Soko use kitenge fabric to make some really nice pieces (dresses and skirts etc). Min order qties are pretty high though for own designs - 12,000 metres per design. Let me know if of interest?
Take care

Can you let me know abit more.
Do you want it printed organically, in this country or abroad?
What minimums do you need?
What is the price you are looking for?
When do you need it for?
Hi David, you have a very interesting project. I have a friend who was on YES summit, last week in Sweden, and we've already spoken about Tartans for Africa, especially in Angola and Mozambique.
Please take a look on the photos VERA VIANA collection, created by me.
Sorry it took me half a year to respond to your very good question!
Ecologique Fashion Show drew a huge amount of people and press within San Diego. The goal was to educate consumers and I think even the fact that some Chargers fans did show up wasn't such a bad thing. A lot of people in the US--let alone Southern CA-- want to be more ethically sound when it comes to their consumption habits. Many just aren't sure where to start and many are unfortunately addicted to material objects! The first thing to conquer in converting is obviously to educate, and that truly was the goal; to plant a seed in the heads of those who generally put a negative stigma upon sustainability and green products in general. The fact that the event received interest/attention from designers in the area as well as models and the general public gives me hope that we can slowly make a difference in limiting negatively habitual consumption and minimize some carbon footprints.
Thank you so much for your concern and your comment :)
..And cheers to your contributions to the Ethical Fashion Forum in addition to your other ventures.

Tamsin at EFF said we should get in touch with you about our new Scottish Network project. Great to see you have joined the group.
Would you be interested in sharing your story and speaking at the launch event we are planning in September? Date and venue still to be confirmed.
Many thanks
