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. It has been a fantastic opportunity for us to work alongside some of our customers. We asked you [...]
Hey guys, I thought it was about time that you got to see what some of the staff thought, rather than having to listen to me all the time!
Someone suggested that I do a wee staff member spotlight, and get them to show off their favourite fabrics. I’ve been inundated with volunteers, but Maggie Milne [...]
Mandors have teamed up with Scotland Re:Designed to give five up and coming designers the chance to create and exhibit designs at the SR:D pop-up shop and static display. The SR:D pop-up store and static display will take place in the Lighthouse, Glasgow from the 27th June to the 1st July.
The competition is open to [...]
Unless you have been living under a rock for the past wee while, I’m sure that you have noticed that the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations are coming up. For most of you, this means an extra day off work. First of all, I’d like to tell you all that Mandors are open from 10-5 on [...]
Last night, I was lucky enough to get to meet Mary Portas.

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 [...]
Hello, as I have been laying off painting my nails for a while now in a bid to get them back to health I have been looking for other creative pursuits
I have no idea where I first heard about Kanzashi I just knew it was something I had to attempt as I have [...]
