Harris Tweed Tartan Purse with ID Window – Zip Wallet with Card Slots & Coin Pouch

Harris Tweed is the only textile in the world protected by its own Act of Parliament — the Harris Tweed Act 1993. By law, it must be hand-woven by islanders at their homes in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, from pure virgin wool dyed and spun in the Outer Hebrides.

Every metre of genuine Harris Tweed is stamped with the trademarked Orb symbol, inspected and certified by the Harris Tweed Authority. This statutory body was established under the 1993 Act to protect the integrity of the cloth. If a product does not carry the Orb mark, it is not genuine Harris Tweed.

Harris Tweed is hand-woven on traditional treadle-powered looms from pure virgin wool, creating an exceptionally dense, hard-wearing fabric. The tight weave is naturally wind-resistant and water-repellent. With proper care, Harris Tweed products can last decades — they are often passed down through generations.
