More details

We think highland dress/tartan are global icons, inherently linked to the Highland region, however the manufacturing industry barely exists in the region, one mill est 2018. On the basis of reparation movements around the globe, we request that the people of the Highlands are given a protected opportunity. We believe this could drive social, environmental and economic equality to a fragile region. We also think it could increase global ethical consumerism.
