How it began...
In 1990, Nick and Kath Whitworth saw an ad in a local Cornish newspaper that caught their eye, offering a small shearling boot-making business for sale. They bought it with just seven pairs in stock and taught themselves to sew. Within a year, they had built a loyal following and decided to become a mail-order company. By 1997, they were so successful they also began producing clothing with the same values they started with—using natural fibers, 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.

Our Statement Donegal Jumper has rustic charm, made from Irish spun Donegal yarn. Featuring a uniquely colored yoke design with contrasting cuffs, and a slouchy but statement fit to finish there is no wonder it’s been our all time best selling jumper.
The 35th Anniversary Collection
“For this collection, we really wanted to celebrate what Celtic & Co. is known for – timeless, heritage pieces made with beautiful natural fibers. But at the same time, we’ve added a modern edge. Whether it’s through updated fits, new textures, or a fresh color palette, it’s all about keeping the brand’s roots alive while making it feel current and wearable today.”
- Ciara, senior knitwear designer
“In our 35th anniversary year, we're championing what it means to be a British brand today: inspired by our heritage, reimagining traditional British design, and pioneering a future where we consider our impact on people and planet much more closely.”
