5 out of 5 starsThis stag pin is gorgeous. It’s a lot of money for something I was going to wear once for my wedding but no regrets and I shall wear it with my beautiful shawl to remember my fab day in Scotland. Thank you Louise

5 out of 5 starsWhen I first came across this shop and saw the tartan face masks, I knew I had to have one (or two!). Louise was wonderful to get in touch with, so helpful, accommodating and generally just great communication.
I now have my masks and they are beautiful. I can't wait to wear them with pride and show them off. And I love that I can now wear a little piece of Scotland, of home, all day, every day.
I have no doubt I'll be making more purchases from LoullyMakes, in the very near future. -

Meaningful accessories - lovingly handmade in Scotland
Originally taught to sew by my Mum, since graduating from the Scottish College of Textiles I've enjoyed a spectrum of retail experience, from Liberty of London, to the ongoing successes of our family-run Highlandwear business.
Pattern, print and texture remain the focus of my creativity. With glorious traditional fabrics at my fingertips, I'm now inspired to let creative ideas become reality. Here I offer a focused range of beautiful, useful pieces that I love to wear myself and to have around me, day-to day.
Each design is the result of my own inspiration and development. Each item is carefully handmade by our small, skilled team, here in Scotland.
Further selections of unique, individual designs are available from Gordon Nicolson Kiltmakers Edinburgh and Dunbar Craft Studio. You can also occasionally find me selling from local Events, Markets, Craft Fairs and the occasional "Pop-Up Shop". I really value the feedback received directly from my customers as they browse and purchase - and the vital part this plays in my design & development of new items
I do create special ranges for each event - Christmas is always my favourite time of year , so please keep checking my pages for new and seasonal creations !

We also design our own tartans which celebrate special causes and commemorations close to our hearts. Once our designs are registered, they are woven in Scotland by our specialist partners and are exclusively available from LoullyMakes and Gordon Nicolson Kiltmakers
Where do you source your Liberty Printed Fabrics ?
We source all of our printed Liberty Art Fabrics directly from Liberty of London.
Where do you source your Harris Tweed Fabrics ?
All Harris Tweeds used in LoullyMakes Designs are authenticated and sourced directly from the individual weavers who live & work in the Outer Hebrides.
Can I have something made in my own choice of tartan ?
Absolutely !
If you have seen a style that you love and would like to have it made in your own choice of tartan or tweed, then please message me to discuss.
I do ask that all specially customised orders are paid for in advance, so that I can order your specific cloth and get to work on your order quickly.
I will create a Special Custom Listing for your customised order and will advise the estimated time to complete your personlised item.
