Glorious Tartan!
Last month the Dior Resort 2025 collection was presented in Scotland and it was a riot of glorious tartan!
Even though we’re in the middle of summer, it’s worth exploring now as this is the perfect time to be thinking about the kind of garments you want to up-cycle or make for Autumn and the kind of materials you want to use.
Enjoy!
