Tartan Plaids (Scottish check) – Classic for Rustic and Vintage Interiors

Tartan Throws (Scottish Check) — Classic for Vintage and Rustic Interiors

Tartan is the check pattern inextricably linked to Scotland: once used to distinguish clans from one another, now a timeless design element for any interior. Our tartan throws are woven by Tweedmill in North Wales (100% pure new wool) and Bronte by Moon in Yorkshire, England (soft Merino lambswool) — two British makers with decades of weaving experience in traditional tartan patterns.

Where does tartan come from?

Tartan has a centuries-old history that originates in the Scottish Highlands. In the past, tartan patterns were used to distinguish different clans: each clan had its own unique design.

What are the best-known tartans?

Some tartans have become iconic worldwide, such as the Royal Stewart tartan, the Black Watch tartan and the Dress Gordon tartan — patterns you will also find in our collection. These designs carry a rich symbolism and history.

Frequently asked questions

Are these tartan throws made in Scotland?

The tartan patterns themselves originate in the Scottish Highlands, but our throws are woven by two specialised British makers: Tweedmill in North Wales and Bronte by Moon in Yorkshire, England. Both brands have a long tradition of weaving classic tartan designs.

What is the best-known tartan?

The Royal Stewart tartan is one of the best-known patterns worldwide, followed by the Black Watch tartan (dark blue/green) and the Dress Gordon tartan.

Which wool is warmest for a tartan throw?

The Merino lambswool from Bronte by Moon is extra soft and densely woven; the 100% pure new wool from Tweedmill also insulates well and is the more affordable option.

Does a tartan throw suit a modern interior?

Certainly. Tartan has traditionally been associated with country and vintage interiors, but a single design in muted tones (such as Black Watch) also works well as an accent in a modern or minimalist space.
