Two for the price of One

We are accustomed to the reversible top here at the Old Byre, in particular the delightful ones produced by Seasalt Clothing.  Just last week, however, we took delivery of a reversible skirt namely the Seasalt Portfolio Skirt.  Proving very popular with our customers already,  this skirt is an ideal purchase prior to a holiday abroad when you are considering the weight of your luggage. 
This is really two skirts for the price of one. 
Perfect.

Mudd and Water - Socially Aware Clothing

We have a new supplier here at the Old Byre Showroom, Mudd and Water.  To quote them,

Mudd and Water is a socially conscious clothing label committed to ensuring you look and feel great, whilst safe in the knowledge that your clothes are both kind to you and the world around you."

The material is soft and luxurious to touch, the colours rich and the patterns exquisite.  Needless to say each of the Old Byre team has chosen one and, strangely,  there has been no duplication.

April Showers

We have enjoyed a beautiful Easter weekend here on Arran.  Shorts and tee shirts were to the fore.  Unfortunately, April showers have returned.  No need to worry though, the flowers which bloom in May are decorating some of our rain coats at the moment.  No need to be dull on a dull day!  Whether it's the  Printed Mac from Tulchan or the Tuppence Mac from Seasalt, you're bound to cheer yourself up in our colourful rainwear.

Somewhere over the Rainbow

We were at the Trade Fair Show in January where many of our suppliers were represented.  Harley specialises in Fairisle and we chose a  few new colour combinations.  We also opted for a couple of yoke stripe sweaters for a change and were invited to choose the colours ourselves.  "Iris" combines pink, orange and purple and "Atlantic Spray" is a mixture of green, yellow and blue.   We waited, holding our breath, wondering what our creations would look like.  When they arrived there was delight all round.  Lorna is already sporting "Iris" and I suspect Sheila may follow suit!  Maggie has her eye on "Atlantic Spray".  Karen, Christine and Margaret have still to declare a preference.  These can be purchased from our Website, www.oldbyre.co.uk

Here Comes Summer





Gorgeous day here at Auchencar.  The Summer stock is looking more and more tempting and appropriate!


Where would a girl be without a summer frock?  Easy and comfortable to wear. Dress up or down with different accessories and shoes.  What other item of clothing can take you so easily from day into evening?


Our Cornish friends at Seasalt Clothing have come up trumps again for Spring Summer 2014:

Organic Cotton Clothing at the Old Byre Showroom





Frugi and Braintree are relatively new additions to the clothing ranges we have on offer at the Old Byre Showroom and both companies specialise in organic cotton.




Frugi is a children's clothing range and they use organic cotton as it is softer, more breathable and much less likely to trigger allergies and eczema in children.


Pink Applique Cord Dress



Braintree Clothing is a ladies' range and it is growing in popularity with our customers.  This range is flattering and soft to the touch.
