Celtic goes global! Father Christmas will have his work cut out this weekend…

Only 5 more sleeps to go! Are you excited? Here at Celtic HQ you can feel the cheer in the air: there are Christmas songs on the radio, bumper boxes of chocolates in the offices and quite a few of the factory staff are wearing festive hats! We have just chosen our food choices for our post-Christmas staff celebration too which has added to the mood (and gives us something to look forward to in January!).

This time of year is always wonderfully busy for us as you, our customers, stock up on warm winter woollies and gifts galore. Our order lines ring constantly and the orders fly in thick and fast. As well as our loyal local customers, we are proud to say that our customers are spread far and wide across the globe. It’s amazing to believe that from our very humble beginnings back in the 1970s we have grown to be an internationally-known company selling to customers all around the world.

Out of curiosity I have been speaking to the ‘elves’ in our warehouse to find out more about the far-flung places that he will be taking his sleigh on Christmas eve (let’s hope that his reindeer get plenty of carrots to keep them going!);

Just across the channel from us, I have been told that our customers in France are particularly fond of our scarves and other knitted accessories. In a country with so many pavement cafes, I imagine that the cosy warmth of cashmere or lambswool accessories provides a brilliant finishing layer to help battle the elements during an al fresco coffee break…

Continuing the journey across the continent and towards Russia, it is no surprise that our sheepskin hats are very popular there, our ‘elves’ told me. In a country where temperatures dip to below -20oC on a regular basis, a sheepskin hat will go some way to protecting against the harsh winter…

Santa and his reindeer will then be on their way to deliver our infamous sheepskin boots to our customers in Japan where they are popular all year round. From the more simple Classic style to our crazy Himalayan Boots, they fly off the shelves across the globe and Japan is no exception perhaps due to the country’s love of Great British products (our boots are of course handcrafted in Cornwall so they tick this box in a big way!)…

Of course our products are bought by customers in hundreds of other countries as well and as I can’t mention them all in one post so we would love to hear from you about where you’re from and how Celtic Sheepskin features in your wardrobe. You can get in touch via Facebook or Twitter.
