Overview
- On February 3, Catherine toured the historic Melin Tregwynt mill in Pembrokeshire and the contemporary jeans maker Hiut Denim in Cardigan to spotlight local manufacturing.
- She wore a bright vintage Welsh-wool coat reported to be from Melin Tregwynt, paired with green layers interpreted as a nod to the Welsh flag.
- During a factory walkthrough she briefly joined quality control, fixing a torn thread and joking that the task needs really good eyes and patience.
- She shared a personal update during the visit, saying the family has a new eight-month-old puppy and that their cocker spaniel Orla is five.
- The visits continue her recent textile-focused engagements and reflect family ties to the wool trade, while Hiut Denim previously experienced a notable boost after Meghan Markle wore its jeans in 2018.
