Produced by the Guilde des Tisserandes de Lachine this complicated asymmetric sett is typical of Quebec weaving tradition. Lachine is close to Montreal on Lake Saint-Louis and historically occupied a strategic position on the fur route as a departure and arrival point for trading expeditions. The colours used here are from the city’s coat of arms.
Colours of this ‘emblamatic’ tartan are were inspired by the crest and loogo used by the city between 1979 and 2001.
