The Herdwick sheep who roam the Lake District fells are the inspiration for our exclusive range of bags, accessories, cushions & caps. Utilising the natural shades of their fleece we weave pure Herdwick wool worsted tweed. Designed, hand cut & sewn our products are a reflection of the farming heritage of Cumbria. Our tweeds are 100% Herdwick & alter with each weaving.
Herdwick: Limited by Nature.
Each item we make has a dedicated page with the tweed options available. Lockdown has slowed production but we're catching up this Spring.
