Scottish outdoor brand marks 45 years of local production
Scottish outdoor clothing brand Keela is celebrating 45 years of manufacturing in the UK with the unveiling of its Albion Collection.
Since 1980, Ilasco, the parent company of Keela, has been manufacturing in its factory in Glenrothes, Fife, using materials from as many UK suppliers as possible.
To celebrate the milestone, Keela has launched its Albion Collection, with fabrics supplied by HD Wool, British Millerain, Halley Stevensons and Harris Tweed.
Sam Fernando, Keela sales director said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be launching the Albion Collection and be able to showcase what can be created right here in the UK.
“As a business, local manufacturing has always been a priority, and it is exciting to see that the industry is on the rise – not only for our economy but to help protect our environment by creating clothing more responsibly.”
