La Nostra Storia

Our Locations
La collezione di ScotlandShop é ispirata ed influenzata dai mille colori dei tartan scozzesi, pieni di storia ma parte fondamentale dell’industria della moda. Combinando i talenti di molti favolosi designer e produttori con cui lavoriamo in tutta la Scozia, abbiamo l’imbarazzo della scelta con tutti questi bellissimi tessuti a due passi da casa. ScotlandShop e’ stata fondata non solo per la passione per la moda, tessuti e cultura scozzese ma anche per il desiderio di contribuire allo sviluppo dell’economia rurale locale. La nostra sede principale si trova nei bellissimi Scottish Borders, situata su due piani in un granaio convertito (vecchio di oltre 150 anni). Ci troviamo nella campagna del paese di Duns, dove e’ cresciuto Jim Clark Rally. Dalla nostra località pittoresca cerchiamo di offrirvi il miglior servizio, molti consigli utili e l’assistenza di cui la Scozia è famosa.
