Starting out by making rugs on a single sewing machine, Shires now has a team of in-house designers and employs approximately 400 people in their factory to keep up with demand. Granted the Royal Warrant in 2009 by HM The Queen, Shires are dedicated to sustainability and ethical best practice. With complete control over the design, raw material and manufacture process, Shires make quality products that are trusted by riders.
