About Us
Welcome to UK Expo International ®
UK Expo International is the retail home of a name that's been trusted in Highland dress and historical uniforms since 2006. Here, you can order the exact quantity you need — even just one piece — with the same craftsmanship and attention to detail that has built our reputation over nearly two decades.
Our Story
UK Expo International began its journey in 2006, working quietly behind the scenes as a wholesale manufacturer of kilts, sporrans, Civil War and Napoleonic uniforms, and Highland accessories. Over the years, we earned the trust of pipe bands, re-enactment groups, retailers, and collectors around the world — not through shortcuts, but through consistent quality, honest business, and a genuine love for the craft.
What started as a small family operation has now grown into its fourth generation. Along the way, we've expanded our team, refined our production, and built relationships with customers across the UK, Europe, the US, Canada, Australia, and beyond. Every coat, kilt, and sporran that leaves our workshop still carries that same founding commitment: make it right, make it well.
Why UK Expo International Exists
Our core business has always been wholesale www.bagpipers.eu — supplying retailers, teams, and organizations that need uniforms and Highland wear in bulk. That side of our business runs through our dedicated wholesale site, built specifically for bulk ordering, invoicing, and trade accounts.
But over the years, many individual customers — a piper needing one sporran, a re-enactor needing a single coat, a family dressing one child for a Highland event — kept reaching out wanting to order in small quantities. Our wholesale operation simply isn't set up for that kind of order.
So we created www.ukexpointernational.com as our dedicated online retail store — a place where anyone can order exactly what they need, in any quantity, without needing a trade account or a bulk order.
A quick note on pricing: Retail orders have a handling time of 6–7 days, as most items are made to order rather than kept in stock. Also, a quick note on pricing — because retail orders are picked, packed, and shipped individually rather than as part of a bulk shipment, prices here are set at retail rates. If you're placing a larger order and want wholesale pricing and invoicing, that's exactly what our wholesale site is for.
