Mairi Gillies is a textile specialist and hand weaver based in London. Originally getting in to textiles at a young age, it was during her BA Hons degree in woven textile design at Central Saint Martins where she found her love for weaving.

Mairi has worked as a freelance designer across both sectors of interior and fashion textiles, including exhibiting her woven textiles during London Fashion week and having her textiles featured in ELLE UK.

Keeping sustainable practices at the heart of everything she does, Mairi utilises repurposed materials within her weaving. Working with the ethos of ‘not needing to buy new to create new’, Mairi produces textiles of bold colour and texture which convey experimental play and communicative story telling through woven material.
