Our Story
Five years on ….
This month (Oct 2011) we celebrate the 5th anniversary of opening for business.
Inevitably there have been changes along the way. I started as a sole-trader, after a year gained a partner and then another and recently we have become a limited company with shareholders, very grown up! After 2 years in our initial tiny workshop/retail unit we moved to our current premises which must be 3-4 times the space and, following a refurbished earlier this year, is much smarter than the early days.
Designing and making clothing has been key from the outset but even that has changed along the way, reflected in 3 name changes. Vintage Phoenix was all about restyling vintage and eco-fashion. Rose Hip & Tutu was an eclectic mix of what had gone before and us exploring our design ethic and growing in confidence. Most recently Scottesque has emerged as our strength; creating contemporary styles using traditional textiles.
The thing that hasn’t changed is that we love what we do, we hope you love it too!!
