What is Tweed?
Tweed is a specific kind of fabric obtained from raw Shetland wool, giving it a soft and loose weave. It is known for its heavy, sturdy and rough texture and its high resistance to cold temperatures and bad weather conditions (rain and wind).
Tweed is often woven using different color yarns in order to create unique patterns, often featuring vertical stripes or checks. The colorful effect can also be achieved by mixing solid dyed wool before spinning.
Traditionally, tweed is associated with outdoor activities, equestrian sports, and the countryside. However, the rise of country fashion has opened up many new ways of wearing tweed, highlighting it as a smart casual wardrobe staple.
Let’s now take a close look at our versatile tweed ladies' collection that serves as a fashion changer in your wardrobe.
