The Kilt is in the Box
The kilt has made it into the box, well, first of all the box made it to Netty Sopata at Digorry Brown, a designer kilt maker from Lewis. The idea was born during a fascinating trip to Okrney, researching the flourishing craft scene there, when Netty asked me whether I could make a box big enough to fit a kilt into. What a task, 25″x15″x4.5″, but with a bit of structural thinking, the box was finally finished, looked impressive (hopefully not only due to its size) and went to Lewis, where the kilt went into it before being sent to Norton and Sons, bespoke tailors in London, as a sample for their new collection. Fingers crossed, they will love the idea of the kilt in a box…
