Filed Under Fashion, New Sites 

Edinburgh, Scotland (PRWEB) — Scotweb, Scotland’s oldest secure online retailers, has launched the world’s only web site to offer for sale every tartan ever recorded at Scotweb Tartan Store. With tartan this year’s top fashion trend hot off the catwalks, the timing couldn’t be better.

Thousands of tartans have been designed over the centuries, for clans, families, companies, and communities all over the world. But most are seldom, if ever, actually produced. So anyone searching for a special tartan has until now had to trawl around multiple sources, usuallly only to be disappointed. Now at last all tartans are can be found and ordered in moments, from a single user-friendly web site.

Scotweb’s unique Tartan (and Tweed) Finder, is the result of years of dedicated work. The information needed to build this astonishing resource was scattered around many different places, often inaccessible to the public. Scotweb undertook a huge development effort, involving historical research, photographic, and specialist technical skills, to produce a resource that is beautifully simple but offers tremendous power and flexibility to anyone looking for tartans.

But this unique site is not only about finding your own tartan. You can also order practically any product you can imagine in it! Scotweb’s new resource combines three main pieces:

(1) the most authoritative information and help facilities, with fully trained advisers on hand;

(2) fabric stocks from all the major weavers, plus rare tartans hand-woven by Scotweb’s exclusive artisan weavers; and

(3) products from Scotland’s top kiltmakers and producers, or made-to-order manufacturing by Scotweb for custom items.

Scotweb’s Managing Director, Dr Nick Fiddes, comments: “We have made a huge investment in combining the most authoritative tartan archives together with every major weaver of authentic tartans, so their superb products are easy to find in one place, either as fabrics or ready-made products. Even for rare family plaids that are otherwise just not available, we can weave a short piece to order at our own weaving mill, and make it into a single hand-sewn kilt, for example. There’s no one else who can do all this.”

“We know from experience that most people buying tartan goods are desperate to find their own family plaid. Thousands of tartans have been designed and recorded, but many haven’t been woven for centuries. We now offer them all! We’ve even built in a way to let people find woven tartan fabrics that include their favourite colours - again, we are the only place in the world you can do this.”

Scotweb is Scotland’s oldest and largest Scottish heritage web site. Founded in 1995, Scotweb stays true to the Scottish reputation for integrity and quality, supplying only authentic products made by traditional local producers. The company’s range of kilts, tartan skirts, and other tartan goods is by far the world’s largest.

The company is led by Dr Nick Fiddes, who is leading figure in the Scottish tartans industry. His widely acclaimed free ebook on ‘Kilts and Tartan Made Easy’ is also available from the Scotweb site.
