The TRUJILLO TARTAN

This special weave is a bespoke tartan that celebrates the combined Scots and Colombian heritage of a family, on the occasion of their sons graduation. Designed by me and woven by the House of Edgar at my local mill here in Moray, the cloth mixes colours found in Scottish glens and Colombian coffee plantations with a signature yellow over check that refers to the Colombian flag.
The tartan has a customised selvedge, woven as a herringbone twill to highlight particular colours within the sett, which itself has been constructed to replicate the beats of a salsa dance — a unseen detail that acknowledges the passion of the father who commissioned this cloth.
Firstly, two kilts for father and son are in the making to begin bringing those beats to life …

Please get in touch if you wish to create your own bespoke tartan. I design the cloth, manage the weaving process with the mill, register your tartan with the National Archive and create your bespoke kilts and accessories. The minimum order is 11m of cloth plus 2 kilts.
