Testimonials for our Harris Tweed Collection
It has to be
Harris Tweed
About Harris Tweed: Harris Tweed has a long and storied tradition. It has been created for hundreds of years in the of the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Its beautiful rich tweed fabric must be handwoven with a warp of either 700 or 1,400 individual threads. Harris Tweed fabric is still homemade in remote weaving sheds from pure virgin wool dyed and spun on the Outer Hebridean islands.
From the Harris Tweed Site: "By law, all Harris Tweed must be produced in the Outer Hebrides and nowhere else. Every inch of wool is dyed and spun in an island mill. Every yard is handwoven at the home of aHarris Tweedweaver. These skills are passed down with pride from generation to generation of the island’s community.loom. Once they begin weaving, each individual warp and weft thread is skillfully woven together under the watchful eye of the weaver."
Collaboration with
Studio Tolsta
Studio Tolsta was founded by Scottish designer Catriona Maciver, who set up the studio in a converted loom shed in her ancestral village of Tolsta, on the Isle of Lewis. After experimenting with ceramics and screen-printed textiles, she was drawn to Harris Tweed, a hand-woven, woolen fabric named after the Island’s southern region. Only produced in the Outer Hebrides, it is one of the last surviving testimonies to Scotland’s handloom weaving heritage. Inspired, she began to experiment with the fabric, enjoying the process of combining the traditional with the contemporary. In 2014 she travelled to India to work on a graphic design residency where she then met and married her partner and established a more permanent base in India.
