Over the past number of years Scotland has proved time and time again it can deliver quality, luxury products to world-wide markets and is capable of competing with the best. A host of loyal customers, which are leading global brands, regularly snap up couture, designs, leather and fabrics. With this continued enthusiasm for our industry Textiles Scotland continues to capitalise on the ever increasing interest in products from Scotland.

Cathy Black, head of textiles for Scottish Enterprise said: “It is fitting that we launch our new strategy at the Scottish Academy of Fashion's first anniversary showcase. As the lead organisation linking our forward-thinking education institutions and the many cutting-edge textiles manufacturers in Scotland, the collaborations in progress demonstrate the joined up thinking which sets the industry apart from the rest.

“Adding to this useful research and development, the Scottish textiles industry continues to show a dedication to delivering quality, luxury and innovative products demonstrating why designed in and made in Scotland remains a highly desirable USP to customers world-wide.”
