LoullyMakes Handmade in Scotland Genuinely exclusive luxury textile accessories,thoughtfully designed & lovingly handmade in Scotland

Welcome to LoullyMakes
- an online emporium of meaningful accessories, lovingly handmade in Scotland. Let me say "Hello!" and introduce myself - I am Louise Nicolson ( aka Loully, to friends ! )
Originally taught to sew at home by my Mum, pattern, print and texture have remained the enduring focus of my creativity, and since graduating from the Scottish College of Textiles, I have relished a spec

trum of retail experience from youthful days with Liberty of London, to the ongoing successes of our family-run Highlandwear business, Gordon Nicolson Kiltmakers. Inspired with such glorious traditional fabrics at my fingertips, LoullyMakes was borne from a combined need to utilise our kiltmaking remnants, reduce waste and to let creative ideas become reality. Here I offer a focused range of beautiful, useful pieces that I love to wear myself and to have around me, day-to day. Each simply constructed design is the result of my own insight and development. Each item is carefully handmade by our small, skilled team, here in Scotland. Select individual pieces are available from our family business, Gordon Nicolson Kiltmakers, from The Dunbar Craft Studio , and on occasion you can also find me selling from Artisan Fairs or a "Pop-Up Shop".

Inspired by the Outlander universe, our LoullyMakes Outlandish collection captures the romance, drama, and wild beauty of the Scottish Highlands.

Pictured here is our lightweight shawl in Isle of Skye tartan, woven in Selkirk by Lochcarron of Scotland in rich, heathery tones of purple, green, and brown.

Handmade in Scotland from 100% pure wool, it’s beautifully soft, with a natural drape that moves with you. The perfect nod to our beautiful Scottish landscapes, and the stories within them.

Exciting News from British Wool & Lochcarron of Scotland !

27/04/2026

While the wool sheds are temporarily quieter, I've spent a fascinating day out of the office with Gordon Nicolson Kiltmakers , huge thanks to Lochcarron of Scotland and British Wool for the invite to visit the Selkirk Wool Depot and discover the processes involved from fleece to yarn.... did you know, that all kilt-weight Strome tartan cloth woven by Lochcarron is now 100% Scottish Wool ?
Supported by new labelling initiatives, you will begin to find it easier to identify authentic products made using traceable, British and Scottish wool...and what a versatile fibre wool truly is ! We loved meeting everyone today, so many talented advocates for home grown wool ! πŸ‘πŸ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ ΏπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§
