About us
Our Legacy of Excellence
Garment Manufacturing
Welcome to Elkin (Skirts) Ltd, a beacon of British craftsmanship in the heart of Cheshire. Founded in 1956 by Mr. Arthur Elkin, our company has evolved from a visionary's ambition into one of the UK's premier family-owned businesses, specialising in total in-house garment manufacturing and intricate hand pleating.
Decades of Dedication
Our journey began in the 1950’s when our founder set out to create exceptional skirts and schoolwear. Today, we continue his legacy, combining time-honoured techniques with modern innovation. Our products represent the pinnacle of quality, borne from a tradition of excellence and a commitment to the finest materials and craftsmanship.
A Proud Local Pillar
Situated in the picturesque town of Macclesfield, Cheshire, we are more than just a business; we are a vital part of the community. Our commitment extends beyond garment creation, focusing on nurturing local talent, providing employment, and championing the art of textile manufacture in the UK.
Masters of Hand Pleating
Our in-house hand pleating is not merely a process; it's an art form perfected over decades. With an extensive library of patterns and the ability to create bespoke designs, we ensure each pleat, fold, and stitch reflects our dedication to quality.
Innovation in Design and Manufacture
Our team of skilled machinists and designers are the heart of our operation. With years of experience, they bring each garment from concept to completion with unmatched precision and care.
