Johnstons of Elgin
Luxury heritage brand Johnstons of Elgin celebrates over two centuries of manufacturing excellence with a special release of two limited-edition collection pieces, complete with unique Digital IDs.
Customers who purchase the Balmacaan Coat or Stewart Check Cape can scan their garments with their smartphones to access provenance, inspiration and care to prolong the life of their products.
Johnstons of Elgin joins EON as a proud member of the Sustainable Markets Initiative (SMI) launched by His Majesty King Charles III. In 2021, the group announced a commitment to introduce Digital IDs across their products to provide better traceability and circularity at scale.
"...this new Digital ID shows how business is committed to meaningful, measurable change, providing customers with the information they need to make cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable choices." - His Majesty King Charles III

A Digital ID takes the form of a QR code inside a product, revealing information about the product's provenance and how to care for it
The Digital ID system is designed to inform consumers of the sustainability credentials of their garments through the development of verifiability around what can be considered a sustainable fashion product.
