WELCOME TO THE HIGHLAND TWEEDERY
Our Story
After an early retirement, I discovered a passion that led me to create something truly unique. Through a year of research, I identified a gap in the market for my own signature designs, and thus, The Highland Tweedery was born.
At Highland Tweedery, we take pride in being intentionally small, ensuring every piece is carefully crafted in-house by us, from start to finish. 🧵✨
With a lifetime of experience in creating and sewing, we pour passion and dedication into every product we offer. 🌍 Our commitment to quality means using only the finest Scottish and British wool tweeds, delivering authentic, handmade pieces to customers worldwide.
Discover timeless designs made with care, shipped from the heart of Scotland to your doorstep, no matter where you are. 🌿
Explore Our Collection
Indulge in the finest Scottish craftsmanship with our beautiful range of products, including Scottish wool and tartan ponchos®️, shawls, accessories, gifts, and Mackintosh Squares®️ (pocket picnic rugs). Each item is meticulously crafted from luxurious Scottish cashmere, wool tweeds, and other high-quality fabrics sourced from esteemed Scottish and British weavers, including our exclusive Highland Tweedery tartan.
Discover the Heritage
Did you know that Scottish wool tweeds originated in the small crofting homes of the Highlands and Islands? Crofting families, with their limited land and sheep, spun fleece into yarn, creating the distinct tweeds we treasure today. From Harris Tweed of the Hebrides to Shetland wool from the far northern islands, these fabrics tell a story of resilience and tradition. Imagine women knitting while carrying heavy loads of peat, showcasing the strength and hardiness of those times.
Limited Editions
Experience the exclusivity of our limited-edition pieces. Most of our Scottish fabrics are end-of-line, meaning we can only craft 2-3 items from each piece. Look for the ⭐️Limited Edition star to secure your unique piece before it’s gone!
