Scottish designer Mairi McDonald creates eclectic and free-spirited luxury womenswear designs that explore key textiles with a high standard of craftmanship.

The 'Electric Eclectic' collection tells the story of the girl with the band who is travelling the world in search of something different, something iconic to add to her eclectic wardrobe.

"When I saw the Mairi McDonald collection it really stood out. I loved that fact she uses Scottish lace and the fit is second to none. She has such a strong, confident handwriting which is backed up by a lot of commercial experience. It's a combination which am sure will make her go far." ( Sarah Murray, owner Jane Davidson).
