Glen Appin of Scotland, under its former name Bulloch Cowell & Company, offered customers Harris Tweed headwear as early as the 1970s. In 2012 they began producing Harris Tweed handbags and purses in just six classic patterns. Today Glen Appin offer a large range of Harris Tweed bags, accessories and clothing and the company is one of the biggest Harris Tweed customers in the UK. They buy Harris Tweed cloth from Kenneth Mackenzie Ltd for their Gents headwear. The rest of the cloth, for every other product, is purchased from Harris Tweed Hebrides as they offer a very wide choice of colours and patterns and work with us to develop new ones. We visit Harris Tweed Hebrides’ Shawbost mill in Lewis at least once a year to spend time in the Pattern Room working on new colours for the following season.
