“International Tartans are unique in what they do; connecting the world with Scotland while doing good at the same time. Their commitment to giving back very much aligns with my own principles and mindset, and when I first came across the business, this is what inspired my understanding and belief of the brand. 

I see the Spirit of India tartan as a bridge to identify as a proud Scottish Indian, which I’m very passionate about. I know many others will feel the same. I aim to facilitate this and support the concept of tartans for social and humanitarian good.”

Our Vision

To produce and sell tartan and tartan products that promote opportunities for education, inclusion, and prosperity.

Our Mission

At International Tartans, we celebrate shared history, heritage, and culture through our unique range of national, district, family and commemorative tartans.

Our Purpose

With over 130 registered tartans, we manufacture and sell the highest quality tartan and tartan products for customers here in Scotland and around the world.

Our Niche

All our national and district tartans were designed with representatives of the respective countries; incorporating symbols, cultural and historical references and the colours of their national flags. The land, culture and peoples’ story are woven into the fabric of our cloth and the values that underpin our work are social justice, sustainability and common good. In achieving these outcomes:

  • Inspire a new generation of thinking and innovation around tartan as a creative art form in fashion, culture and heritage
  • Produce a range of traditional and artisan clothes, crafts and furnishings using predominately natural textiles
  • Develop and grow the International Tartans brand and through creative partnership, develop patent products
  • Provide tailoring training, skills and access to education for women from rural areas who face multiple disadvantages. All tartan products are crafted here in Scotland
  • Deliver economic development for the Scottish Borders and use our commercial success for the common good
