Brora is a Scottish luxury fashion brand, best known for its cashmere garments.

Brora was founded in March 1993 by Victoria Stapleton, who is the owner and creative director.[1] After her family became involved with Hunters of Brora, a 100-year-old tweed mill in Brora, north east Scotland, she established a retail business, focused on cashmere and tweed.[2]

As of 2018, the brand had 14 stores in the UK and one on Madison Avenue in New York City.[1] The clothes "are very often made here in the UK."[1] All of the cashmere is produced in a mill in the Scottish borders.[2]
