History of Harris Tweed fabrics

Harris Tweed is not a weaver or a brand, but a label awarded by the Harris Tweed Authority whose repertoire includes the houses and craftsmen responding to the "Harris Tweed act of parliament" of 1993.

In fact, "Harris Tweed" is a tweed that has been hand woven by islanders, at home, within the very precise perimeter of the Outer Hebrides Islands, and more precisely in the islands of Harris, Lewis, North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist and Barra.

Tweed is thus made from pure new wool dyed and spun in the same region of Scotland.

armors exist in tweed, we find in particular the famous chevron (herringbone), pied de coq (Shepherd's check), pied de poule (houndstooth), or the classic armure toile, then called donegale. A fabric as luxurious as rustic with a totally out-of-time look.

Collection

Today, I made you a collection of wool bow ties Harris Tweed shaped traditional butterfly.

Our bow ties are to be tied, with an adjustable fastening system (from 37 to 42) but don't worry, your knot will be delivered pre-born.

NB: Generally, bow ties are 6 cm high. Ours are 5 cm long for more contemporary lines.

Rarer than a tie, the bow tie ensures a guaranteed effect on a daily basis.
