About Harris Tweed (Herringbone)
Harris Tweed is the only cloth in the world protected by its own Act of Parliament — handwoven by islanders in their homes across the Outer Hebrides from pure virgin wool dyed and spun in the Hebrides. Its colours are drawn from the peat-brown moor, bracken, heather, and the rust of crottle lichen scraped from wet rock.
This design system distills that heritage into digital form: a dark peat-brown ground, muted plant-dye earth tones, flecked wool speckle, herringbone twill texture, and refined serif display that honours the Orb-certified provenance of the cloth.
