Scots bring centuries of style to world-famous Brooks Brothers
Creative Boom
Brooks Brothers – whose customers include Hollywood legends and US Presidents – threw open the doors of its Regent Street store this month to showcase the best in Scottish textiles.
In a never-before-seen display, the retailer showed off the wealth of Scottish products on sale in its London flagship store to an exclusive guest list of nearly 300 leading lights in the UK fashion industry.
During the event, Brooks Brothers celebrated its long-standing relationship with leading Scottish textiles companies, which regularly supply the most iconic clothing retailer in the US: Barrie Knitwear; Begg Scotland; Hawick Knitwear; Harris Tweed Hebrides; Harris Tweed Textiles; Johnstons Cashmere; Reid & Taylor, Robert Noble; and Todd & Duncan.
Cathy Black, head of textiles at Scottish Enterprise, said: “Scottish textiles companies regularly do business with high-end stores such as Brooks Brothers. The fact this well-established retailer has decided to collectively showcase products from Scotland in this way is testament to how much the ‘made in Scotland’ accolade means to its discerning customers.
