Harris Tweed Hebrides

Perched along the historic cobbled incline of the Lawnmarket at number 495, Harris Tweed Hebrides represents the Edinburgh flagship of Scotland's definitive Outer Hebridean cottage industry. Established in 2007 at Shawbost on the Isle of Lewis, the company revitalized rural island cloth production by collaborating with home-weavers across Lewis and Harris to supply haute couture fashion houses and traditional tailors across the globe.

The boutique is housed inside a 17th-century merchant tenement with exposed stone walls and dark timber flooring. Every bolt of tweed displayed on the bespoke ash shelving conforms rigorously to the 1993 Harris Tweed Act of Parliament, which legally decrees that the fabric must be produced from one hundred percent pure virgin wool dyed, spun, and handwoven at the islanders' island crofts. The cloth is finished in the Western Isles and stamped with the iconic, orb-and-maltese-cross mark administered by the Harris Tweed Authority.

Within the showroom, customers encounter sharply tailored sporting blazers, structured overcoats, driving caps, and rugged luggage crafted from contemporary herringbone, dogtooth, and barleycorn weaves. The knowledgeable team provides knowledgeable insight into yarn blending, helping patrons select either ready-to-wear tailored pieces or raw cloth yardage supplied with authentic sew-in Orb identification labels for private commissions.
