WHERE NATURE MEETS TIMELESS ELEGANCE

Perched on the ancient hillsides near the Highlands, Goatherdess offers more than just clothing - it offers a connection to nature, tradition, and timeless elegance. Our garments are handmade to order using the finest wool and mohair from rare breed sheep and angora goats, lovingly cared for on our farm. Each piece tells the story of the land, the animals, and the past brought into the present.

With every stitch, we honour traditional techniques passed down through generations, creating clothing and accessories that transcend trends and celebrate the beauty of slow, sustainable fashion. Step into our world, where the whisper of the Highlands weaves into every thread, and discover garments born from the heart of nature.

By embracing on-demand production, we ensure that each item is tailored precisely to your needs and delivered within 21 days using your personal measurements. This thoughtful approach allows us to reduce waste, supporting both the environment and the art of slow fashion.
