Made of our exclusive farm-to-wardrobe, pedigree British Bluefaced Leicester wool, woven in the Scottish Borders, HERD's Upland Tweed is a celebration of British heritage and provenance.. “A tweed this soft, that is also grown and made from British Bluefaced Leicester wool, simply didn’t exist – until now,” says HERD founder Ruth Alice Rands. “Our tweed reimagines the heritage cloth through a modern lens – it’s smoother, softer and unmistakably British given that its source, manufacturer & design are all rooted in British soil. We've spent a year developing it, working with a master weaver we found in the Scottish Borders who understands our mission to create a fabric that feels as good as it looks when worn.”.
