Le Kilt Sustainability Actions

Made in Scotland

Since launching in 2014, Le Kilt has been proudly made in Scotland by expert craftspeople using the finest natural materials; a small, independent business rooted in both the highlands and cityscapes that shape what modern Scottish culture means to us.

Works with small manufacturers

By working with a handful of small-scale British manufacturers we enable our customers to think sustainably and invest in quality; reducing wastage, supporting skilled local communities, and building more authentic, conscious connections with their clothes through understanding where they come from.

Slower fashion approach

In 2018 it ditched the feigned charade of London Fashion Week in favour of the slower, more conscientious Craft Week. For McCoach, ticking off the seasonal checklist felt tired, wasteful and disingenuous.

Focus on lasting clothes

Le Kilt’s clothes are made to last. McCoach says the brand wants garments that fit seamlessly into an everyday wardrobe and can be passed down, with an emphasis on buying something that is made to last.

Encourages mending

McCoach said, “we should be mending, not spending.” She added that it is important to know how to care for things and to appreciate them, and that taking the time to learn how to mend and look after clothes creates conversation.
