About Fully Fashioned

This exhibition celebrated the 200th anniversary of Pringle of Scotland.

Scotland is the iconic birthplace of the knitwear industry. It was in Hawick, in the Scottish Borders, that Pringle of Scotland became one of the first luxury knitwear manufacturers in the world.

Marking Pringle of Scotland's 200th anniversary, this free exhibition traced the history of the company from a small hosiery firm making undergarments to an international fashion brand known for its outerwear.

Using rare pieces of early knitwear, iconic fashion garments, archival records and film footage, the exhibition traced the evolution of one of the world's oldest fashion brands and explored the continuing relevance of knitwear to the modern wardrobe.
