EDINBURGH CASHMERE
Didar Singh Chalana, known as DC for short, is a self-made entrepreneur. His business acumen and unique designs have seen him recently appearing in Vogue, Grazia, GQ and Tatler.
Back in 2008 whilst working as a sales assistant DC was the first person to recognise that Edinburgh had the largest number of cashmere shops in the world, sparking his inspiration to create the brand Edinburgh Cashmere.
This would not be overnight, it took ten long years of relentless research and hard work to achieve his goal of becoming one of the top designers, manufacturers and wholesalers of pure cashmere and pure lambswool in the UK and Europe. One of his major accomplishments was to be the first person in the world to produce 110 different clan cashmere scarves.
DC oversees every aspect of his production from designing through to completion in his own factory, as well as dealing directly with sustainable cashmere and lambswool farms, ensuring luxury quality and value. To date he has manufactured millions of high-end products. His specialty is up to the minute designs in Monogram and Jacquard featuring his DC monogram logo. He also created one of the world's most famous designs, the DC Classic Check. His new 2022 collection of scarves, stoles and capes is set to make waves in the fashion industry.
His passion for quality has allowed him to collaborate with top Italian and French designers and has recently branched out into supplying premier football clubs with merchandise.
Another passion that DC has is for mens fashion which he has successfully branched into with DC Milan menswear. This is an on trend brand specialising in jeans, sweatshirts and jackets, all designed and manufactured from scratch by himself.
It is safe to say that DC’s passion for quality and design has allowed him to take his Scottish based brand Edinburgh Cashmere to international level in a short time period that rival companies have not achieved in a lifetime.
His hard work and dogged determination have certainly merited him to call himself the proud owner of the Official Edinburgh Cashmere, Edinburgh Lambswool and DC Milan brands.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
