In step with the current trend for bold statement style, Ness uses brilliant colours and cheeky reinterpretation of classic plaid and check pieces to steer tartan away from its highlands, heather and honey image into the mainstream fashion stakes.

With its flagship store situated on Edinburgh’s dynamic Royal Mile against a backdrop of festival vitality, historic sentiment and seething international crowds, Ness’s collection of mini kilts, cute cropped jackets, skirt suits, vibrant knitwear, bags and simple, smart accessories is a beacon to fashion fashionistas.<

Founded in Edinburgh in 1996, Ness takes inspiration from the contemporary feel and flavour of its birthplace while genially thumbing its nose at tradition.
