The family firm, run by brothers Brian and Craig Halley, has been providing tartan to its clients for 25 years. In 2004 the company became well-known for providing custom home and away tartans for the Scottish Football Association.

More recently, Slanj made headlines after their charity tartan face mask, developed to support Shelter Scotland, was endorsed by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.

Extra team members were roped in to meet an unprecedented demand and the business experienced a 16-fold increase in annual online order figures, raising over £40,000 for the homeless charity.

The new Duke Street premises includes a shop, factory space, a dry-cleaning area, and customer parking spaces and its opening has created four new jobs.

The company also has a smaller unit on Glasgow’s Bath Street and a store in Edinburgh.

Slanj has worked with a number of charities and organisations throughout the years, creating bespoke tartans for Beatson Cancer Charity and more.

They also support the Kiltwalk by offering free kilt hire for Glasgow and Edinburgh participants.

Slanj also developed and gifted a kilt and tartan ‘trews’ to Barack Obama during his 2017 Scottish visit, and for Eric Cantona who visited Glasgow to speak at a gala dinner for Street Soccer Scotland.

Brian Halley, founder of Slanj, said: “As a business, we’ve always rented our premises, but our goal has been to own our own space for a while now. The east end of Glasgow is perfect in so many ways, and we’re proud to have been welcomed into the community. Royal Bank of Scotland was instrumental in making this happen, and the whole process was easier than getting a mortgage for my house.

“It’s been an uncertain but exciting time for the business. We’re looking ahead to the future with our new store, and have been looking forward to opening the doors.”

Gary McCabe, relationship manager at Royal Bank of Scotland, said: “Slanj have been with us since the beginning, and it’s been a real pleasure to play a small part in its journey. Brian is a marketing mastermind, and the new headquarters are just the next chapter in their exciting story.”
