    Harris Tweed Products

    We are excited to announce that we now have a range of Harris Tweed products on our website! http://bit.ly/1LnKUKO

    Harris tweed is a wool textile produced exclusively in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. It is a famously high quality material, used for many purposes from fashion to upholstery. Here are some facts regarding the production of Harris tweed that you likely aren't aware of...

    • Harris tweed is rigidly defined by a set of principles outlined to separate it from other, lesser tweed materials trying to capitalise on the growing industry
    • The Harris Tweed Act states: "Harris Tweed means a tweed which has been hand woven by the islanders at their homes in the Outer Hebrides, finished in the islands of Harris, Lewis, North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist and Barra and their several purtenances (The Outer Hebrides) and made from pure virgin wool dyed and spun in the Outer Hebrides"
    • The material is is examined by artisan darners which seek out slight flaws and correct them before the length of fabric is branded with the official, internationally recognised Orb Mark
