It’s been a busy few weeks here at Mandors. We’ve been working with Scotland Re:Designed on an amazing competition, and were lucky enough to host a pop up shop in the Lighthouse as part of the exhibition.

We’ve got new summer fabrics arriving into the shop daily, and I’ve been doing my best to take photos as they arrive. You’ll find the photos on our Facebook page, as [...]
It’s been a while since I blogged, and it’s been a busy few months. February is the month for all of the trade shows that we go to. So I’ve been to such glamourous places as Paris, Birmingham, and Dunblane
I thought I’d share some of the new dress fabrics [...]
When people ask me what I miss about my time living in Scotland I always respond with the obvious, ‘the amazing people!’, ‘the scenery!’ and ‘the pubs!’ But there is another thing I really miss too…Mandors!
I spent two years living in Scotland and one of the hard things about leaving my little corner of the [...]
Last weekend, I made a special purchase in the Edinburgh branch of Mandors – 20m of green, yellow and red tartan ribbon…
I have now sent off the ribbon to a women’s co-operative called “Groupement Takku Liggey” in the rural village of Keur Momar Sarr, Senegal. Groupement will use the ribbon as part of their [...]
