"Tweed may be one of Scotland's great gifts to the world, but it has never cut its ties with home where it is still a great source of pride,” says Lovat Mill Director Stephen Rendle.

"For us, it's about following in the footsteps of previous generations of tweed makers. We are passionate about nurturing traditional skills, so to have the opportunity to support another heritage craft is very important to us.”

Known as the ‘Home of Tweed,’ Hawick is renowned the world over the quality of its tweeds, where artisan craftsmen follow in the footsteps of generations of tweed makers to create beautiful, contemporary cloth.

Historically, tweed has always been made in natural, earthy colours as it was used for hunting, shooting and fishing. A hardy close weave, the fabric is as tough as it is attractive, both rugged and refined – a perfect amalgamation for country style.

In the same way as we approach design, Lovat Mill takes inspiration from the rich colours of the surrounding countryside.
