Traditional, sustainable and ethical principles were woven and stitched into each Hebridean waistcoat I created for men & women. I combine durable corduroys, organic cotton and liberty prints with artisan tweed woven locally by Ardalanish Isle of Mull weavers, who describe ‘weaving as a fascinating mix of mechanics, maths, hard work, inspiration, creativity, trial and error and a little dose of magic’. Toffee tones are created with Manx Loaghtan wool from the Isle of Man and creamy shades are synonymous with fleece the Shetland Isle. I developed a soft spot for the adorable Hebridean black sheep who are abundant on the island. 

The blues, oranges and yellows synonymous with the Hebrides are all achieved using natural plant dyes grown on site. Lovingly restored wind powered Victorian looms are used to weave their exquisite range of artisan tweed. If you happen to visit Mull, be sure to take the turn on the road to Iona to see where the weavers work their magic, click here to browse my favourite Hebridean tweeds and click here to visit Ardalanish weavers shop.
