Begg x Co designs and manufactures responsible cashmere knitwear, accessories and homeware for the modern lifestyle with mills in Ayr on the west coast of Scotland and Hawick, "The Home of Cashmere", in the Scottish Borders. Scotland's rugged coastline, imposing mountains and cinematic skies in contrast to areas of gritty urban sprawl offers a paradox of nature and industry; a duality that perennially inspires the Begg x Co collections.
A unique approach to colour originates from Begg x Co's desire to celebrate boldness, encourage self-expression and champion authentic living through artisanal products that make people feel good both physically and emotionally, knowing they have been ethically made. With industry experience dating back to the 1866, Begg x Co harness over 150 years of Scottish heritage, combining age-old techniques with disruptive design and cutting-edge technology, to create the world’s finest hand-crafted cashmere fused with colour and creativity. Each collection, designed by Vanessa Seward, is rooted in responsible craftsmanship, ensuring the highest social and animal welfare standards are maintained as each fibre is traced from goat to garment.
Begg x Co’s deep sense of responsibility goes beyond their collections, as a Certified B Corp™they are part of a global network that is committed to making a positive impact in their industry and beyond.
