Harris Tweed: A Storied Fabric Harris Tweed is a premium fabric that has been handwoven by the islanders of the Outer Hebrides in Scotland since the 1800s. It is the only fabric protected by legislation to ensure exceptional quality.

According to the Harris Tweed Act, the fabric must be: - Handwoven by the islanders at their homes in the Outer Hebrides - Finished in the Outer Hebrides - Made from pure virgin wool, dyed and spun in the Outer Hebrides

Each 50-meter length of Harris Tweed is inspected and hand-stamped by a member of the Harris Tweed Authority before being released for use.

The history of Harris Tweed dates back to the 19th century, when it was woven as a necessity to create a warm and durable fabric for workers in the cold Scottish climate. Over time, it became a sought-after material, gaining popularity among the upper-class and eventually becoming a global success.

Today, Harris Tweed is used by a wide range of individuals, from royalty and Hollywood icons to farmers and outdoor enthusiasts, solidifying its status as a timeless and versatile fabric.
