When we think of tweed, we usually think of Chanel.
A little suit. Gold buttons. Paris.
But tweed didn’t begin in fashion houses.
In this week’s vlog (which accidentally turned into a full tweedumentry 😅🧶), I trace the evolution of tweed from rural survival cloth in Scotland and Ireland, through estate wear and academic symbolism, all the way to haute couture via Coco Chanel.
We explore:
• Where the word “tweed” actually comes from
• The difference between tweed and Harris Tweed
• How class and industrialisation reshaped its meaning
• Why Chanel recontextualised it for women’s fashion
• How tweed functions in modern fashion today
• And why I chose superfine merino tweed (in burgundy 😍) for my Cashmere Outside Tee
This version of the Cashmere Outside Tee isn’t about softness.
It’s about texture. Translation. Material continuity.
It’s tweed, abstracted.

If you love textile history, material culture, and slightly obsessive fiber deep dives - welcome. You are among friends here.
