Post Knitwear manufacturer talks Harry Potter uniforms

The Kilmarnock Standard has interviews with representatives from Lochaven International Ltd, the knitwear manufacturer that has made the school uniforms used in every Harry Potter film since Chamber of Secrets. It usually takes them two months to produce up to four hundred garments, with each item individually tailored. They finished work on Half-Blood Prince last December and fully intend to be back at work next year for the Deathly Hallows films.

Quote:
Lochaven’s marketing director, Heidi Daniel, said: “Warner Brothers, who make the Harry Potter films, got in touch with us and asked us to make the items and they were delighted with the quality.

“We’ve made the garments from then on and it’s quite an exciting story for our company. Not many people know where the jumpers, tank tops and cardigans are made.

“That’s quite amazing when you consider how hugely popular the films are and it’s certainly something for Lochaven to be proud of.”
When asked if there were plans to start selling the items to the public, Lochaven’s owner Keith Murray hinted that it may happen in the future.

Quote:
He said: “We get e-mails from all over the world from fans of the books and films asking if they can buy one.

“Although there is no legal reason why we can’t, we don’t actually actively market them so they are pretty rare.

“Our quality and ability to produce relatively small batches in Scotland makes us fairly unique these days and that allows us to work within the film industry.

“The garments are very visible in the films and have become recognised as an integral part of Harry Potter. There is also a large Scottish connection with the films so it’s great to be a part of it.”
