So what about the cashmere? It is the one of the world’s universal luxuries, yet it requires master craftspeople to turn it into beautiful garments. Johnstons of Elgin have been making products from cashmere for over 225 years. Their Elgin mill is vertically integrated, which means they dye, spin, weave and finish everything they make on site. They’ve got generations of craftspeople working for them, handing down knowledge and skills, ensuring their tradition of excellence continues indefinitely.
It takes time to make truly luxurious products, of course, and Johnstons of Elgin have an ethos of slow luxury, injecting craftsmanship, heritage and contemporary style into everything they make. It’s this understated or quiet style, along with their ongoing commitment to quality, that has kept the company relevant for so long.
They also have a Royal Warrant from King Charles. Our King has a discerning sartorial eye and hand-picks the patterns for his jackets and suits - so it’s no surprise that Johnson’s of Elgin have earned the status of official ‘Manufacturer of Estate Tweed Woollen Fabric’
Their products may be expensive, but this level of quality never goes out of style. So whatever you buy from them, it is likely to be handed down to another willing and happy generation. It just goes to show that true luxury lasts longer than one lifetime.
