What Is Harris Tweed?


At Creative Irish Gifts, we bring you accessories made with one of Scotland's most distinctive traditional materials, allowing you to carry a genuine piece of Scottish craftsmanship wherever you go. Harris Tweed is a traditional Scottish wool cloth with generations of history in the Outer Hebrides. During the 19th century, the Countess of Dunmore helped bring the island-made cloth to a wider market, where its distinctive appearance, quality and durability quickly gained recognition.
Today, genuine Harris Tweed remains firmly rooted in its island origins. By law, it must be made from 100% pure new wool and handwoven by skilled islanders in their own homes in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. At Creative Irish Gifts, we value this traditional craftsmanship and the generations of knowledge behind every piece of Harris Tweed in our collection.
The preservation of this age-old handweaving tradition gives Harris Tweed its distinctive character and durability. Its naturally water-resistant wool makes it a practical choice for accessories that can accompany you through changing weather and everyday wear.

How to Tell if Your Harris Tweed Is Authentic


When choosing a Harris Tweed accessory, authenticity matters. Look for the Harris Tweed Orb Certification Mark, the official mark that confirms the cloth meets the legal requirements for genuine Harris Tweed under the Harris Tweed Act of 1993.
Every Harris Tweed product in our collection features the Orb Mark, giving you an easy way to recognize genuine Harris Tweed and shop our selection with confidence.
For customers interested in the wider world of Irish fashion, our collection also includes pieces from renowned Irish purse designers and traditional handbags made in Ireland. If you are simply looking for an authentic Irish purse, we have plenty of styles to explore alongside our Harris Tweed collection.


Caring for Your Harris Tweed Purse


Our Harris Tweed accessories are made to be enjoyed for years with the right care. Always follow the care instructions provided with your individual item, particularly where Harris Tweed is combined with other materials. For Harris Tweed itself, professional dry cleaning is recommended when necessary, while careful hand-washing may be suitable for some items.
