"Ethical fashion that doesn't cost the earth"

Mack and Rose is a sustainable custom and wholesale embroidery business founded in 2014 by Katy Rose Christopher. We provide merchandise, clothing repairs and customisation using embroidery.

Located in a studio 10 minutes from Glasgow Central Station we provide our services to clients all over Scotland and the UK.

Mack and Rose was founded to provide sustainable alternatives to fast fashion. We started out by creating and selling our own embroidery designs on to vintage and second-hand clothing as well as offering repairs and customisations to our customers. Not long after we started embroidering our own designs we started working with other small businesses, musicians and creatives to embroider their designs. We quickly realised that working with other people was more fun than working alone. Our focus became creating custom and wholesale products for our customers.

Today we have established ourselves as Glasgow’s leading specialist in
embroidery.

All our products are ethically and sustainably sourced and we don’t compromise on the quality of our products. We encourage our clients to use vintage garments but if preloved clothing isn't your thing we can also provide you with garments using organic cotton or recycled polyester through one of our eco-friendly suppliers.

Alternatively, we also recycle old stock (deadstock merchandise) or you can provide your own garments for embroidery.

We offer one-to-one design development to make sure that your vision is brought to life exactly as you imagine it.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

We would love to hear from you!

Our founder

Meet Katy

Hi, I'm Katy, the founder of Mack and Rose
I'm passionate about using my creativity to make beautiful and unique embroidery pieces, and I'm even more passionate about doing it in a way that's good for the planet.
I started Mack and Rose because I believe beautiful and affordable clothing doesn’t have to be damaging to the environment. That's why I specialise in using preloved clothing and textiles to create embroidery pieces. I love giving old clothes a new life, and I love even more knowing that my customers are getting high-quality, sustainable products that they'll love for years to come…
