Linton Tweeds is home to the world's most innovative fabrics and it all started in 1912 when William Linton started Linton Mill in England. Initially, he bought wool and sold woollen suit lengths until he got introduced to a young lady named Coco Chanel. This began a collaboration which has resulted in the house of Chanel being Linton Tweeds' biggest and most prestigious customer. Nowadays, they are the designers and manufacturers of couture fabrics for fashion houses and are regularly seen on catwalks.
