The award-winning textile designer, Alex Feechan has launched a new online store to supply her products all over the globe. The designer has relocated to the borders to pursue her dream of creating beautiful Scottish knitwear using traditional techniques.
The new online store showcases a range of beautiful handcrafted knitted products made from the finest Geelong lambswool, combined with traditional age-old knitting techniques. The designer has a string of awards to her name, as well as an MA from the Royal College of Art, London.
With 12 years of practical design experience in the industry and five years of educational and lecturing experience, Alex felt that the time was right to focus on creating a contemporary, desirable Scotland-based lifestyle brand as the Scottish knitwear industry has an outstanding reputation and has supplied some of the world's most famous design houses with luxury knitwear.
On the other hand, Alex has gained recognition and interest from stockiest including Browns, A la Mode, Tokyo and Bergdorf Goodman New York through her work as an independent designer and as a consultant to a number of international brands.

Combined with the beauty, colours and texture of the countryside everything is here to create highly desirable 'Made in Scotland' products.
Alex has also been involved in setting up hands-on textile projects throughout the Borders and North Lanarkshire, working with primary and secondary schools. Alex's work can be obtained from stockists across the UK including Scottish outlets.
