Folk

Cathal Mcateer is a Scottish clothes and furniture designer based in London. After working as a buyer for a clothing store in Glasgow during his teens, Cathal moved to London with the dream of one day founding his own label. By 2001 he had saved enough money to turn his dream into a reality and founded Folk Clothing, a brand that makes well-made everyday casual wear and stands out from the crowd through its obsessive focus on subtle details and cut as well as its interesting use of unique fabrics and textures. As a young lad growing up in Scotland Cathal enjoyed buying and making furniture so it was only a matter of time before Folk branched out into this area. Folk is now very much a multi discipline design studio, which creates furniture, objects & artwork as well as clothing that reflect Cathal’s ethos of modern, tactile product design.
