BESPOKE HANDMADE HARRIS TWEED BAG
This little clutch purse comes in a pale teal green wool twill fabric, and is handmade to order by me at my studio in Scotland. The bag opens to reveal an aqua interior with a slip pocket bearing a label with the Harris Tweed Authority certified trademark.
- Width = approx. 20.5 cm (8 ins)
- Height (excluding clasp) = approx. 13cm (5 ins)
- Depth = approx. 3cm (1 inch) at the lower edge
- Silver tone kisslock frame
- Soft touch bag which keeps its shape with a stiffened interlining
- Soft, velvety aqua lining with slip pocket
- Shoulder Chain measures approx. 1 metre (39½ ins) in length, giving a drop of approx. 45cm (17½ ins) from the shoulder when worn
- Chain handle measures approx. 33cm (13 inches)
- Wristlet measures approx. 14cm (5½ ins)
You choose whether you would prefer to buy a clutch bag alone or with a shoulder chain, chain handle or grosgrain fabric wristlet. All are detachable from the clutch bag and interchangeable, so you can buy your bag with any combination of these, or with the complete set of wristlet, shoulder chain and chain handle.

OPTIONAL PERSONALISATION
I can personalise this bag with a name, date or monogram. The lettering will be embroidered in silver thread onto an ivory silk label which is sewn onto the interior slip pocket, and the Harris Tweed label will be sewn onto the bag lining instead of the pocket. An example of personalisation on another style of bag is shown in the fifth photo above.
To order a personalised bag, choose the 'with personalisation' option from the drop-down box, and enter your lettering in the 'add your personalisation' box before checkout.

ABOUT HARRIS TWEED
The Harris Tweed Authority was established in 1993 with an Act of Parliament, and replaced the original Harris Tweed Association which was set up in 1909. The definition of Harris Tweed contained in the 1993 Act defines Harris Tweed as:
"Handwoven by the islanders at their homes in the Outer Hebrides, finished in the Outer Hebrides, and made from pure virgin wool dyed and spun in the Outer Hebrides."
The Authority oversees the production and inspection of the cloth from start to finish, and brands it with the mark of the Orb which can be seen on the traditional label affixed to finished items, guaranteeing the quality of the tweed fabric.
