The fascination of weaving often leads us to explore long-standing worlds and traditions, opens up new horizons and enriches our culture beyond the boundaries of yarn weaving. This is what can happen with Scottish tartan fabrics. <\/p>\n
Its origin is not known but this fabric carries with it a lot of history. From medieval clans, through the British monarchy, to punks and high fashion, tartan has marked the history of some civilizations. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Scottish populations were divided into ‘clans’, and each of them created its own interweaving with its own colors that have been handed down for centuries.<\/p>\n
Tartan dresses were very ‘socially equal’ because they were worn by all social classes. In the seventies, while the punk phenomenon was spreading like wildfire in the United Kingdom, tartan began to be proposed in a ‘revolutionary’ guise. <\/p>\n

The peculiar thing is that this particular type of design always remains linked to Scottish identity and the idea of rebellion. Some call it the ‘fabric of contradiction’, but this definition does not honor the history of the clans themselves. <\/p>\n
In its purest sense, tartan is made of 100% wool (well selected); however, we have seen it declined in hundreds of different fabrics, always maintaining its unique charm<\/em>.<\/p>\n
Tartan is one of the most unique designs you can find in the fashion field. The general archive of tartan designs, in fact, has up to 7,000 combinations of different colors and weaves. <\/p>\n
