Stop Press!

This week has been a very busy week for Celtic Sheepskin. The phone lines are practically ringing off the hook and many staff in both the factory and warehouse are volunteering to work overtime to help keep up with demand. And if that wasn’t enough, three of the major national newspapers have featured our products this week in their relevant columns. On Monday the Independent featured our Sheepskin Mittens, the same day the Telegraph included a picture of our Ribbon Boots and then yesterday the Times pointed out our Scuff slippers and also our newest product YakTrax. It’s no wonder that many items have a waiting period on them –we can’t get them in quick enough!

After returning to work on Tuesday from being snowed in on Monday, I had the fun task of modelling for the website photos of the YakTrax, so know first hand just how useful they are. If you’ve not seen them on our home page yet, they’re worth taking a look at. It turns out that they were originally designed for runners to enable athletes to train all year round, but what a difference they’ll make to everyone else’s lives. There are of course many shoes around that can cope in the snow, but how much simpler does life get when you can be confident on the ice in your favourite pair of shoes by simply slipping on these trax to your soles? Now, of course if your favourite pair of shoes is a pair of Stilettos then you’ll probably find difficulty strapping these soles on, so I’d advise you stick to your favourite pair of flat shoes!

Also this week Grazia Magazine picked up on one of our magnificent scarves. Pick up the mag and you’ll find that our “faux fur stole” is featured. In fact it’s our Sheepskin Scarf, but it’s more vogue to call it faux fur at the moment. Well, it’s Grazia, and if they want to call it that, then we’ll happily let them!

So as we’re now all working at full throttle, I’ll leave now to enjoy one of the busiest shopping weeks of the year. Here’s to enjoying a truly white Christmas!
