A showcase for local textile, fashion and accessories designers will take place on December 16 in the Soho Club, next to Rose Street car park, Inverness.

The public will be warmly welcomed by a festive atmosphere of mince pies and mulled wine at the event, supported by Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE), between 10am and 4pm.

This will be a great opportunity to purchase last minute Christmas gifts as well as to get to know and support local designers. Exhibitors from all over the Highlands and Islands will offer a wide selection of high class goods ranging from hats and bags to jewellery and interior accessories.

Designers will include Kirsteen Stewart (Orkney); Inner Strength (Ross-shire); Sandra Murray, Sporran Nation and Coca Couture (Inverness); Taylored Textiles (Moray); and Ginger (Lochaber).
