THE PODCAST
This is a podcast about time. The time it takes to become an artisan. Heritage. Saving to buy something you’ll keep forever. Sustainability. Memories attached to clothing you have loved and lived in. Vintage. Stories from far flung places to the intimacy of home. Interiors. And the longevity of friendship. To us, the true definition of luxury.
We are the tastemakers. Every fashion river flows back to the Scottish sea. From the Parisian in her bouclé clutching a skinny cigarette to Cher and Dionne tartan-twinning in Clueless, it all returns to Alba.
In How Scotland Dressed the World, Lynne Coleman explores the country’s rich cultural impact on the modern world. Telling the tales of the cloth that covers continents and how it has woven itself into political and economic movements. No matter what style tribe you subscribe to this book shows how it all starts in Scotland. From ‘gallus’ and ‘peely-wally’, to Ralph Lauren’s ‘preppy chic’. Whoever you are, however you dress, you will always have a piece of Scotland with you - even if it’s only in your wellies.
