Woven exclusively at its mill on the banks of the River Lossie, all of the fabric used is unique to Johnstons of Elgin. SS20 continues to use the latest super-lightweight fabrics and pioneer never woven before double face blends.
Inspired by the aesthetics of 1930's cubist artists such as Picasso and Delaunay, this collection is centred around fine knits and easy wardrobe staples for the modern woman. Expert craftsmanship and innovative technology have combined to shape contemporary knitwear decorated with hand-painted patterns that play with contrasting textures.
