Designed as a collectable textile art sculpture, she carries a genuine piece of Hebridean heritage and landscape into your home.
Product Story & Inspiration
Kitty is an artisan heirloom doll created to honour the enduring resilience and quiet strength of Hebridean women. Historically, island women undertook vital roles to sustain their families and communities; Kitty reflects those moments of quiet industry, spinning her yarn and preparing for her weaving.
Wearing traditional Scottish tweed alongside textiles infused with the natural essence of the local landscape, Kitty embodies a deep, physical connection to the rich heritage of the Outer Hebrides.
Materials & Handcrafted Artistry
Every element of this collectable cloth doll is carefully selected and hand-stitched, giving her a distinct, authentic character:
-
Heritage Textiles: Crafted from locally sourced, reclaimed wool and authentic Harris Tweed®.
-
Naturally Dyed Fabrics: Her clothing features upcycled cotton, hand-dyed using sustainably foraged moss, heather, and lichen gathered directly from the Hebridean landscape.
-
Bespoke Knitwear: Dressed in a delicate, hand-knitted garment crafted from premium new wool.
-
One-of-a-Kind Creation: Kitty is a single-edition artisan textile sculpture with her own unique outfit. Natural variations in stitching, texture, and earth-derived dye tones are integral to her handcrafted charm.
