A Guide to Our Hand Woven Harris Tweed
What Makes Our Harris Tweed Special
Harris Tweed is one of the world’s most iconic fabrics — warm, textured and full of character. Handwoven in small batches in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, it brings heritage, comfort and natural beauty to every armchair and sofa we make.
A Sustainable Choice
Wool is renewable, biodegradable and sourced from carefully managed flocks. Harris Tweed is produced on a small island community with low-impact, traditional methods that support local livelihoods.
Handwoven in Scotland
Every metre of Harris Tweed is woven by hand on a traditional loom in a weaver’s own home. It’s the only fabric in the world protected by an Act of Parliament, guaranteeing authenticity and craftsmanship.
Natural Wool, Natural Comfort
Made from pure new wool, Harris Tweed feels warm in winter, breathable in summer and naturally softens over time. Wool is resilient, comfortable and naturally resistant to odours and moisture — ideal for everyday living.
Character in Every Thread
No two batches are ever identical. Variations in the wool, dyes and handwoven patterns give each piece its own depth and personality. Your chair won’t look exactly like anyone else’s — and that’s part of the charm.
Made to Last
Tightly woven wool fibres make Harris Tweed incredibly durable, especially for high-use upholstery like armchairs, footstools and benches. It ages slowly and gracefully, keeping its shape and structure for years.
How Harris Tweed Ages
Harris Tweed becomes softer and more relaxed with time. The texture mellows slightly, the fabric settles into the shape of the furniture, and the colours maintain their depth for many years. It’s a fabric designed to live with you, not against you.
