Auld Alliance Kiltmakers is the partnership of two passionate French artisans, Mathilde and Jonathan, kiltmakers and tartan designers based in Edinburgh. They are dedicated to preserving traditional hand-sewing techniques while also embracing innovation and exploring new design possibilities. Each of their creations is crafted to reflect the unique personality and individuality of their clients.
The workshop will take you on a journey through Scotland’s Highland dress and tartans will explain the craft of handsewn kiltmaking. You’ll then have the chance to try pleating a tartan yourself.
