History of Tweed

A Timeless Fabric of Elegance

Tweed, a luxurious fabric with a history spanning centuries, is known for its durability, warmth, and unique texture. Woven from different coloured woollen yarns, it creates an elegant and versatile pattern. Originating in the 18th century, Scottish farmers and shepherds initially used it for outdoor clothing, and over time, it became synonymous with the aristocracy.

At Charles Hedley, we take pride in incorporating tweed into our collection, believing it embodies luxury, quality, and timeless style. Our tweed collection, including blazers, coats, skirts, dresses, and trousers, is designed to be both versatile and sophisticated. Timeless yet modern, tweed at Charles Hedley is crafted for any occasion.
