The Outer Hebrides is the spiritual home of weaving, and has a long tradition of producing Harris Tweed. In the mid-19th century, the local Harris tweed was made entirely by hand, and produced mainly for personal use or sold locally. Then in 1846 Lady Dunmore requested that island weavers copy a Murray tartan and the wider tweed industry was born.

It is this heritage which we draw on, but taking it forward to include new yarn types and colour combinations.

Breanish Tweed, the company, was started by Ian Sutherland in 1982. A weaver with a difference, Ian used the same techniques as a traditional weaver, but began experimenting with different yarn and cloth weights. It is an entirely different cloth to its cousin from Harris.

Breanish is best known for its lightweight, handwoven tweed. It is as at home on the catwalk as on the moors of the Glorious Twelfth.
