The life and legacy of Bernat Klein

Earlier this year, a coalition of leading Scottish heritage and design organisations – including the National Trust for Scotland – joined together to secure the future of the Bernat Klein Studio.

This building was used by textile designer Bernat Klein, who was perhaps best known for his international collections for Chanel and Dior.

To understand more about the man behind the studio, and the building’s future, Jackie speaks with Alison Harley, Chair of the Bernat Klein Foundation, and author Shelley Klein, Bernat’s daughter.

The full restoration of the Bernat Klein Studio will be carried out by the project coalition, led by Scottish Historic Buildings Trust (SHBT), in partnership with the Bernat Klein Foundation and the National Trust for Scotland. Visit bernatkleinstudio.org.uk to learn more, support the project and receive updates.
