✨Meet Frances our Senior Fashion Designer✨ What is your favourite piece from the AW24 collection? I’m loving the straw cords and the black split kilt. What do you love about designing for Brora? I love working with the mills and factories we have the pleasure of aligning ourselves with. Working with high quality cloth, especially wool woven in the UK that is steeped in British heritage. What has been your most memorable moment whilst working for Bora? The famous pink gingham blouse as worn by Kate, the Princess of Wales was an outstanding success and still a best seller to this day, three years on. What inspired your designs? This AW I took a lot of inspiration from 1940s tailoring to influence our collection of wool jackets and coats. #brorafashion #britishdesign #slowfashion #retail

Fine Scottish Cashmere and Beautiful Clothing. A British fashion brand established in 1993 by Victoria Stapleton.
About us
Luxury Scottish cashmere and clothing for women, men, children and babies. Brora was established in 1993 to give classic Scottish cashmere a contemporary twist and create a collection in a range of unique colours. Today, none of that has changed. From the beginning Brora cashmere has been dyed and knitted by the same mill in Hawick in the Scottish Borders. It is the soft waters of the local river Teviot that are so crucial to the 'handle' of the finished product. With the finest cashmere fibre, manufacturing skills passed down through the generations and the special blend of unique colours, Brora cashmere has a superior quality that is hard to equal. To complement the cashmere collections, Brora also produces a seasonal range of distinctive clothing & accessories. We are very proud that the vast majority of Brora designs are still made in the UK and mainly in Scotland.

✨Brora Portrait: Meet Lizzie David✨ A creative mender who specialises in visible mending, she takes on repair commissions, as well as running workshops to inspire other people to mend their clothing. With a love of colour, Lizzie takes inspiration from the Japanese tradition of Kintsugi, treating repairs to clothing as part of a garments history and something to celebrate rather than disguise. What’s your background? I studied fine art and have always loved colour, textiles and fashion and I find visible mending is the perfect combination of things that I love. During lockdown I taught myself to darn and I enjoy the meditative repetition of mending by hand, the slow pace and the creativity of it.
