Day 9 of #marchmeetthemaker ~ The story behind the name.

Arra was the name of my great grandmother, Arra MacDonald, who was born in St Margaret’s Hope and grew up by the sea on Orkney.

I wanted a name for my business that I had a connection with and that sounded vaguely Scottish but not so much that I wouldn’t be able to move one day!

My first collection was inspired by the seascapes of Orkney after numerous holidays to visit family, so it seemed fitting to use a name that would continue this legacy!
