Inspired by the sea-scapes and natural colour-ways of the outer Hebridean Islands, Ruth designs, cuts, sews and finishes every garment, accessory, interior product and eclectic creation, more often than not from Harris Tweed, the ancient cloth made of and on these Islands.
The cloth is cut in single ply, with buttons and hems stitched, by hand. When you consider the creative and traditional processes involved, you'll understand why orders can take up to 3 or 4 weeks to complete.
Steeped in the fabric of every Harris Tweed creation, is the Islands rich history, wild skies, birds, flowers and shorelines. It is these influences which Ruth uses to evoke, shape and create using stitch, print and felting techniques, refined over eleven years (and counting) of working with this beautiful cloth.
