Princess Kate reveals evening plans with George, Charlotte and Louis | Royal | News

While there, the princess visited family-owned jeans manufacturer Hiut Denim, based in Cardigan. Outside the factory, several people had gathered to see him with the future Queen, and he greeted them all before leaving.

Catherine stopped to talk to a man who asked her how Prince George was and explained her plans for the evening.

He said: “It’s in very good condition, thank you.

“They’re at school today and I’ll go back and see them tonight.”

The town of Cardigan has been home to jeans production since the 1960s, and the first jeans factory here employed more than 400 people producing 35,000 pairs a week.

The factory closed in 2002 when production was moved to Morocco, but Hiut brought back those manufacturing skills when the company was founded in 2011.

During the factory tour, Catherine was seen interacting with Mr. von Loeper’s English cocker spaniel, Barney (the same breed as Wales’ dog, Orla).

The Princess went to the factory to learn about the company’s history and had the opportunity to sew a “Made in Wales” label onto a pair of organic Hack jeans worth £245, which will be given as a gift to the Prince of Wales.

As a thank you for her visit, Catherine was presented with a pair of Mari jeans for herself and Hack jeans for William.
