Tweed, a durable wool fabric known for its natural insulation and sustainability, has maintained its status as a wardrobe essential for over two centuries.
King Charles’s double-breasted tweed coat, worn since the 1980s, highlights the material’s enduring appeal.
Traditionally associated with British aristocracy and outdoor pursuits, tweed has evolved into a fashion icon embraced by luxury labels like Chanel and Dior, as well as high-street brands such as Marks & Spencer.
Its eco-friendly credentials, including being biodegradable, renewable, and naturally antibacterial, make tweed a sustainable fashion choice.
Notably, Harris Tweed, protected by the 1993 Harris Tweed Act, is handwoven in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides using 100% British wool, ensuring unmatched quality and authenticity.
Fashion designers continue to celebrate tweed’s heritage, blending its classic patterns with modern designs, keeping this versatile fabric relevant across generations.
