300 Year old Stewart Christie & Co is weaving an exciting new future
Scotland’s oldest bespoke tailoring business, Stewart Christie & Co, is weaving an exciting new era in its 300+-year history.
The celebrated tailor, which has dressed both royalty and Hollywood stars - from King George V and Sir Walter Scott to Ewan McGregor and Outlander star Sam Heughan - in its sumptuous tweeds and tartans for centuries, has welcomed internationally bestselling author Alexander McCall Smith as an investor in the business.
Alexander, whose 44 Scotland Street and No 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series have sold over 20 million copies worldwide, has invested in the business and joins fellow Stewart Christie & Co shareholders: Managing Director Daniel Fearn, Creative Director Vixy Rae and Chairman Prof James McCallum.
The news of Alexander’s involvement follows the historic tailor’s announcement of a new ‘by appointment’ studio for ladies’ tailoring in the heart of Edinburgh’s Georgian New Town, in the adjacent premises to their existing men’s tailoring emporium on 61-63 Queen Street.
The new ladies’ tailoring studio opened its doors this summer at 61-63 Queen Street, in the space formerly devoted to their popular The Chaumer tearoom. Cake-lovers needn’t worry though as afternoon tea continues to be taken there, with the ‘tiniest tearoom in town’ serving the finest teas and coffees alongside a selection of tempting sweet and savoury bites on an exclusive ‘clients and guests’ in the know basis.
