Thoughtfully created knitwear and knitted product, designed and made in Scotland.

Archipelago is a small creative studio based in the Scottish Borders, specialising in knitwear and knitted accessories. We don’t follow trends or respond to seasons but rather design for longevity inspired by life, people and the environment around us.
