Ness: fresh modern Scottish Apparel
A favorite Edinburgh shop, Ness . Don't think the web site does justice to the merchandise—the shops are full of wonderful colors and knits with signature tartan handbags, Wellies, and corsages.
...I'm still dreaming about the Harris Tweed 2006 pocket bag.
About Harris Tweed
This world famous fabric is hand woven from 100% pure new Scottish wool in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. One of the requirements for certification by the Harris Tweed Authority is that the weaving must be done at the weaver’s home.
This tweed is lovely to work with and great to wear. One of the features of the wool is that there are lots of different colours of fibres making up the yarn. From a distance a plain cloth may look green, but look closely and you will find fibres of blue, gold, purple, brown blending in with the main colour.
Many people think that all Harris Tweed is earth-toned herringbone, but while there are many such patterns woven, this is not the whole story. There are plains, twills, tartans, checks and stripes in every colour imaginable. In addition, there are different qualities of tweed from the traditional heavy variety through to the new baby soft tweeds, with several grades in between.
