Gorgeous colour!

The kite top is a joy to wear and it drapes beautifully. The colour is gorgeous and more vibrant than the online photo. It reminds me of the sea around the Outer Hebrides! On a more prosaic note, I’m a size 10/12 and bought a Small.

I couldn't believe my luck when I stumbled upon Bill Baber whilst wandering around Edinburgh some years back. But I'm far away from there generally, and rely on online shopping with them. Always best quality material, great colours, designs and fit. Never been unhappy.

Perfect jacket!

Perfect jacket!
Perfect service!
Perfect delivery!

Bill Baber’s clothes are all unique,
hand-made, perfectly created and incredibly inspired, in their shapes, material and, particularly, colours.

Exceptional quality.

I have a 40 year old jumper still very much on the go and love it!

Such a friendly and warm family business too! Visiting the shop is always a very special pleasure.

Thank you.

I’ve been buying from Bill Baber for eight years

I’ve been buying from Bill Baber in person and online for eight years, and I love their Celtic designs! During Covid he even did a custom color order.

Beautiful brooch and well packaged .Thank you . My only gripe is how expensive the delivery charge was £9 ? But in reality the postal charge was £5

Warm, colorful, quality wool knitwear

I ordered the mosaic purple jacket by Bill Baber (from another Ireland store-Skellig) and later purchased the hat and scarf in dark purple (from Bill Baber store) for a matching set. They are not only an uplifting burst of color but warm and breathable wool knit garments. The quality and weave/knit design stands out from other garments of similar color. I live in the US and the shipping was convenient with reasonable cost.

Stunning Taste of Scotland

The quality is amazing and the style is stunning. I want another in another color but will force myself to wait until I can visit in person this May. The shipping was incredibly fast.

Perfect for every occasion.

Beautiful and comfortable as always. I have purchased a cape for my mum (I cannot wait for her to see it) and a red, long jumper which received many compliments already. Very quick delivery. Sadly, I had to pay import tax, but I thought it was worth it.

Quality and style worth the price

I admired knitwear through the Bill Baber shop window when visiting Edinburgh and thought I might treat myself around Christmas time. The excellent website provided plenty of accurate photos showing the choice of items and the merino jumper is lovely; classic and stylish, the wool is fine quality and the blue marl colour is bright and beautiful. The jumper was quite expensive and I haven’t washed it yet but provided this goes well I think the quality and style make it worth the price.

Thanks so much for this stunning review, we are really pleased that you love your piece and it loves up to your expectations! We recommend hand washing your wool pieces in not too hot water and drying them flat - wool does not like the washing machine or the tumble dryer!

My friend in Edinburgh adored the hat you delivered to her and now has plans to visit your shop. I will come with her next time I’m over.
