Anta is a fantastic shop selling the most amazing Scottish fabrics. Situated in the Grassmarket…read morearea of Edinburgh, Anta is just a short walk from the city centre and from the Royal Mile so it is in a handy location for tourists to reach. Anta sells a huge range of different fabrics, including wool, tweed and linen, in a vast range of designs and so can chose which material you want, and Anta will use it to make curtains or to upholster cushions and chairs. I love to come into Anta and browse all the different fabrics and look at their rugs and throws which I absolutely adore, they are made of wool and cashmere and they are so soft to touch, although they are really pricey, costing about £200 - but SOO worth it! Anta also sell a selection of cushions which they have covered themselves in a range of different fabrics which look and feel heavenly. Clothes are also available here, such as corsets, skirts and the most beautiful scarves and shawls I have seen. Tweed shoulder and weekend bags are also sold here, which I also really want, and the smaller ones cost £40 which is very reasonable. When I am older, I want the inside of my house to have all the tartan and tweed products which Anta sell, and I can't wait to shop here when I have more money so I can buy the beautifully soft throws.
