Behind the Brand: Abbotsford Textiles

Woven in Scotland. Designed for the World.

With roots deeply embedded in the Scottish Borders, Abbotsford Textiles is a brand that embodies tradition, quality, and innovation. As one of the UK’s leading producers of contract and bespoke wool-rich fabrics, Abbotsford merges centuries-old textile heritage with a forward-looking commitment to sustainability and design excellence.

Operating out of an historic woollen mill on the banks of the River Tweed, the brand is proud to design, weave and finish its fabrics in-house - controlling every step to ensure exceptional standards and a distinctive character in every metre of cloth.

"Our goal is to create wool textiles that don’t just meet the highest technical standards - they also tell a story of craftsmanship, place, and lasting beauty."
