Begg x Co
Scotland
Begg x Co designs and manufactures responsible cashmere knitwear from their mills in Ayr, known as ‘‘The Home of Cashmere,” in the Scottish Borders. The mist generated by the Firth of Clyde, and regular rainfall from the lush Ayrshire hills, creates soft water ideal for creating some of the softest cashmere on the market. Combining long established techniques with cutting-edge technology, each Begg x Co fiber is traceable from goat to garment.
