Beautiful scarves

I bought two Orkney snoods which are in lovely rich colours. They are warm, soft and not in the least bulky. Helpful and personal response from the company when I wanted to make a change to my initial order. Would definitely recommend…

Lovely knitwear

I am delighted with the jumper I bought from Bill Baber. It is excellent quality wool and warm whilst being not too bulky. The communication from the company about a very slight delay due to the Christmas holiday was much appreciated. They are a lovely company to deal with.

The mull cape was a gift for my mother, who was impressed with its quality and beauty.

Ordering the mull cape online was easy. The cape arrived quickly considering the shipping distance between Scotland and the United States. And most importantly, the cape was a gift for my mother, who was impressed with its quality and beauty.

Super friendly and helpful

Super friendly and helpful family business. Jack and Lucy arranged a Zoom call to help us get to know each other and our business requirements as we're based overseas. What a difference being able to see and speak to our supplier instead of the usual emails going back and forth!
The quality of their garments is second to none. Would definitely recommend Bill Baber Knitwear.

A visit to the shop located in the Grassmarket in Edinburgh is both inviting and informative as you can observe their creativity and skill in process.
We look forward to visiting them again soon!

Couldn't be happier, love my warm fuscia colored Jersey and the service was exceptional. Communication all the way through to ensure I was getting what I expected as I was ordering from overseas. Thanks for being so helpful.

Gorgeous

The sweater I ordered is totally gorgeous. The colour is just as shown on my screen, the wool is soft and I am going to love it for years I am sure! The whole process of ordering and receiving it was flawless.

When I was in the store in Edinburgh

When I was in the store in Edinburgh, everything was good. I bought one dress and have been satisfied with it. However, I also ordered a dress that was exactly what I wanted - but the wrong color. It was supposed to be made and shipped later. I did receive a dress about 2-3 weeks later, but it was not the one I ordered. I ordered a large size because I wanted it longer (just below my knee), but this one was too short- it was above my knee, and the shoulders had a strange flip on them - again not what I ordered and not what I tried on in the store. I sent the dress back, but have not received a replacement nor a reimbursement. I sent an email with an explanation, but apparently the email did not work, and I am discouraged because I've never received further information from Bill. I still would like the dress in purple, but with exactly what I ordered. If that is not possible, then please refund my money. Thank you.

Thank you for letting us know about the problems you had with online ordering. It's always useful for us to know where we can do better so we can try to improve our processes. We have been in touch via email directly to arrange both a refund and a replacement dress for you in the length and colour that you would prefer.

We currently only sell one length of linen Sally dress online but the same style of dress in different lengths and materials in our Edinburgh store. We think this is where the confusion has come from and have added length details to our Sally dresses on our website to make this clearer. Thank you for helping us improve our service for future customers and don't hesitate to get in touch if there is anything else we can help with.

Unique and beautiful knitwear

I purchased a gorgeous Bill Baber shawl while in Edinburgh. I love how it can be worn as is or multiple ways with the addition of a broach. So unique and versatile! I also bought a scarf as a gift for a friend and she is thrilled with it!!! Highly recommend!
