Summer Update

This is a busy time of year for us at Glenalmond Tweed. We have been at several shows including the Royal Highland Show, the Scottish Game Fair and BBC Countryfile Live earlier in the season.

In August we even managed to fit in a photoshoot with our new designs that will feature in our soon to arrive catalogue. In the meantime you can visit our website to view the new collection with fabulous new Harris Tweeds for our womens and mens clothing as well as our classic Harris Tweed handbags and luggage.
 

 

Elsewhere in the UK on the Hebrides, Lewis’s first Harris Tweed bike ride was held in the beginning of August. The event formed part of Stornoway-based An Laantair Arts Centre Harris Tweed Festival Day of 13 August 2016. Harris Tweed bike rides involve riders wearing head-to-toe tweed and are held all over the world, including in England, Russia and Japan. The Stornoway occasion offered a Tour de France-style yellow jersey to the first rider to finish the journey.

At the end of August we journeyed up to the stunning grounds of Blair Castle,on the edge of Blair Atholl, for the Blair Castle International Horse Trials and Country Fair.

 

 

Come early September it was time to hit the road for the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials which took place on 1^st to the 4^th. As usual the event was a thrill for competitors and spectators alike with Australian rider Christopher Burton wining the coveted Land Rover Burghely title. On the retail therapy side of things we presented our new collection which went down a storm. On our stand a lovely collection of Harris Tweed Jackets could be found as well as the new Camilla Coat and our collection of British made Bags and Luggage.

 

Last weekend we attended the Goodwood Revival in Chichester,  the only motor racing event to be staged entirely in period dress. Vintage fashion enthusiasts hit the grandstands in 40s, 50s and 60s attire and a good time was had by all.

As we move into the Autumn Winter season Harris Tweed continues to get attention in the media, 'Harris Tweed is back on the wanted list' writes Tessa Waugh in the September Issue of Country Life Magazine. Sustainability and durability are some of the unique qualities of Harris Tweed which add to its timeless appeal as a Winter wardrobe staple. We would argue that it can be worn all year round however we are based on the side of a hill in Scotland...

At HQ our Perthshire Emporium continued to attract visitors from around the world as well as a few canine friends, meet part time assistants Kiki and Snuffles.

June 2016 Update

 

We have been working on our new Harris Tweed collection for Autumn/Winter as well as an exciting new linen range for Spring 2017 (watch this space!).

 

 

On the weekend of the 10th of July we attended the first Field & Country Fair held at Cornbury Park near Charlbury. This was a fabulous event in a very beautiful setting.

 

We took along our range of Harris Tweed clothes for men and women as well as our range of cushions and the original collection of Harris Tweed bags and luggage. 

 

There has been an increase in interest in Harris Tweed by the metre for clothing and upholstery. Harris Tweed makes for an excellent upholstery material with the end result being hardwearing and very smart. It also makes lovely cushions and curtains. Unfortunately we do not offer the cloth online but are more than happy to help via phone 01738 880 322 or email info@glenalmond.com 

 

We will be at the following events over the summer:

 

Royal Highland Show 23rd - 26th August

 Scottish Game Fair at Scone Palace 1st - 3rd July

BBC Countryfile Live held at Blenheim Palace 4th - 7th August

Blair Horse Trials  25th - 28th August

The Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials 1st - 4th September

Goodwood Revival 9th -11th September

  

 

We have welcomed a lot of visitors to our Perthshire shop in the last few weeks including Toby the Labrador who was very at home :)
