How it began...
In 1990, Nick and Kath Whitworth saw an advert in a local Cornish paper which caught their eye, offering a small sheepskin boot-making business for sale. They bought it with just seven pairs in stock and taught themselves to sew. Within a year they’d built up a loyal following, and decided to become a mail order company. By 1997 they were so successful, they also began to produce clothing using the same ethos that they started with; by using natural fibres, classic style and premium quality.
By 2013, the name Celtic Sheepskin changed to trade under Celtic & Co. as a way of retaining the brand's heritage but also reflecting the increased product range alongside the boots and slippers which remain at the heart of Celtic & Co.

Whether it’s through updated fits, new textures, or a fresh colour palette, it’s all about keeping the brand’s roots alive while making it feel current and wearable today.”
