Harris Tweed

Harris Tweed is one of the world’s most iconic fabrics, handwoven by inhabitants of The Outer Hebrides for centuries.

Originally woven by Islanders to protect themselves from the unforgiving North Atlantic climate of the cold and blustery Western Isles of Scotland, Harris Tweed has become the perennial choice for those making premium garments, soft furnishings and accessories the world over.

In order to be Harris Tweed, the fabric must be handwoven by islanders at their homes in The Outer Hebrides, finished in the Outer Hebrides, made using yarn that has been dyed, carded and spun in the Outer Hebrides using 100% virgin wool.

The brand Harris Tweed and the instantly recognisable Orb trademark are property of The Harris Tweed Authority. The HTA are the statutory body that work to ensure the 1993 Harris Tweed Act is upheld, as well as the quality, reputation and good name of the Harris Tweed brand.
