Eight Centuries of Irish Craft. Now on Your Pillow The Book of Kells has been called the work of angels. Created by Celtic monks around 800 AD, its pages are filled with interlaced creatures, spiralling knotwork, and calligraphy so precise that scholars still cannot fully explain how it was made by human hands. Translating that into fabric is no small thing. The Kells pillowcase is woven on a jacquard loom, a process that programs each individual thread to build the pattern from within the cloth itself. The result is a tone-on-tone weave that shifts and reveals the manuscript's iconic motifs d

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as THOMAS FERGUSON & COMPANY, LIMITED, number R0000713. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Stated by the company: "54 Scarva Road, Banbridge, BT32 3QD, Northern Ireland (Closed for Tours Currently)" — names a location but no site or process, so this corroborates uk_hq more than operations. Source.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
