“I feel very privileged at this point in my career to work with Begg x Co. It’s a company whose values coincide exactly with how I feel luxury and fashion should be migrating to in the coming years. More than ever I’m partial to King Charles’ “Buy once, buy well”. I believe in fashion investment, buying fewer items but of better quality to keep or hand down. It’s a thrill to work directly with their two mills, knit and woven, as part of their team in Scotland. I feel I’m dealing directly with a group of craftspeople committed to the highest quality. Begg x Co has a unique identity based on bold colour association, responsible craftsmanship and artistic collaboration which resonates with my personal path of combining portrait painting and fashion. To this, I’d like to add my long-lasting obsession with wardrobe templates. Begg x Co already has a cult following. My goal is to help them become a staple, the go-to brand when one dreams of a luxury cashmere item. It’s fashion with substance, authenticity and I dare say, a soul, a Scottish one for sure. I feel that makes sense in today’s luxury market. ». — Vanessa Seward
