Tweed: A Rich Harvest
This October,
Edinburgh-based designer/maker, Katherine Emtage, displays her collection of
beautifully crafted and seasonally-toned tweed bags, purses, accessories and
homewares as Concrete Wardrobe’s Maker of the Month.
Working in
Harris and other Scottish tweeds, Emtage produces design led bags and
accessories, which use traditional tweed in new and innovative ways. With a rich jewel toned palette including olive,
poppy, peacock and tangerine, Emtage specialises in quilting, ruching,
pin-tucking and colour blocking the tweed, among other techniques, to create
interesting and unusual pieces that are contemporary, with a timeless feel.
Amongst her
plentiful range on display at Concrete Wardrobe this October are men’s cycling/messenger
bags in cool charcoal shades, day bags in rich moss greens and browns, plus
coin purses, corsages and iPhone/iPod cases in a stunning range of colours and
textures. Emtage is keen to use natural
materials wherever possible; evening bags are lined in silk taffeta and day
bags in bespoke hand printed cotton hemp.
Fiona
McIntosh, co-owner of Concrete Wardrobe added, “Emtage’s work is a skilful
blend of beauty and functionality. She
has a loyal customer base at Concrete Wardrobe who appreciate the quality and craftsmanship
of her work and we are very excited to host her newest and most diverse
collection this October”.
Katherine
Emtage will be on display at Concrete Wardrobe from 1st to 31st
October 2014. Concrete Wardrobe is open Monday to
Saturday 11am to 7pm. (Sunday 12 - 5pm.)
Concrete Wardrobe 50a Broughton Street, Edinburgh EH1
