ABOUT PRICKLY THISTLE

With relentless passion, Prickly Thistle is creating a new future for Scotland's iconic cloth of identity. The Highland Tartan Rebels are trailblazing a fight against global rises in fast fashion and petrochemical clothing and are the only B Corp mill in the UK. They produce storytelling tartans and make clothes for womxn by womxn, designed and built to make sh#t happen, all with a unique style of their own.

ABOUT CLARE CAMPBELL

Clare Campbell is the founder of Prickly Thistle and a rebel Highlander with a passion for identity. Born in Inverness, Clare found her inner rebel in late 2015 and a new purpose that would weave everything she cared about into a single passion. Despite the difficulties that she knew lay ahead, Clare was committed to restoring a future for powerful storytelling tartan designs, and to eventually return artisan tartan weaving skills and disruptive product collections back to the Highlands of Scotland. Prickly Thistle was destined to become a brand of endurance.
