For centuries the inhabitants of the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, on the islands of Lewis, Harris, Uist and Barra, have hand woven a beautiful and intricate cloth the world knows simply as Harris Tweed.
It is the only fabric protected by an Act of Parliament. This strictly outlines the conditions in which the cloth can be genuinely made. Authentic Harris Tweed is issued with the famous Harris Tweed Orb Mark after inspection by the Harris Tweed Authority. The Orb Mark is the United Kingdom's oldest trademark.
