Key people
My finance and accounting background has provided the experience needed to understand and work well within the retail, export, and import environment. The other half of me is a creative being and finding ways one can utilise creativity to produce beauty out of almost anything. I have a great fondness and interest in Scottish history and tradition. This has gradually…
I have significant business experience and an intuitive eye for something special out there. Staghorn has excellent potential and is built on a solid foundation. I intend to combine all my expertise to grow the legacy and market offering of this magnificent business into the future. My sister and I make a great team – nothing can break the strong…
Our story
We wished to tie the knot traditionally in the true Scottish style, and so our adventure took us to Staghorn. While finding our attire, we were told that the owner, Will Carter, would like to retire. That was when true sisterhood kicked in, and my sister and I decided to buy this fascinating, well-established enterprise and continue the legacy built by Will over the years.
The Forbes Clan crest is a Highland stag’s head. For me, this was a sign that our family surely fits in with this singular, exciting business!
My sister had also married Clan MacDonald on her husband’s side. With this strong foundation, we decided to buy the company.
We desire to continue this iconic, truly Scottish legacy and offer strictly world-class bespoke traditional attire for all who are similarly proud of their heritage.
We pride ourselves in providing nothing but the “Real Deal” to customers across Southern Africa and abroad.
We look forward to sharing the journey with you all.
Warm regards,
Anria & Madeleen
