Harris Tweed is a premium fabric hand-made in Scotland from pure virgin wool - meaning it has never been used before. It is widely considered one of the most luxurious fabrics in the world and is the only fabric actually protected by legislation to ensure top quality is maintained. According to the act, Harris Tweed must be: "Handwoven by the islanders at their homes in the Outer Hebrides, finished in the Outer Hebrides, and made from pure virgin wool dyed and spun in the Outer Hebrides.” They are located in the North of Scotland, in the islands of Lewis, Harris, Uist and Barra. Every roll produced has to be inspected by a member of the Harris Tweed Authority before it is hand-stamped and sent away for use. So if you are buying any Harris Tweed product, you can be sure it will be hand-crafted to perfection!

Harris Tweed was first woven as a necessity in the 1800s to create a fabric which was warm and durable to help workers in the cold climate of Scotland. It ended up becoming so useful, people started using it as a currency to buy things like food and rent!
As Alexander 6th Earl of Dunmore inherited the Isle of Harris, mainland manufacturers turned to machines to craft their Tweed. The islanders in the Outer Hebrides maintained their traditional hand process. Unfortunately, Alexander passed away in 1843, leaving the responsibility of the Hebridean Island to his wife, Lady Catherine Herbert.
Lady Catherine was a major driving factor in the popularity of Harris Tweed. She saw the potential this fabric had and committed herself to sell it to her wealthy friends.
Harris Tweed quickly became highly sought after by high-class social circles.
Since then, Harris Tweed has become a global success. It is used by almost everyone, from royalty and Hollywood icons to farmers and outdoorsmen.
