Snow Paw UK was established back in 2010, and since then has grown to supply quality products and service throughout the UK and across the globe. Our new brand name, Islander UK, came to fruition in 2020 and has been welcomed by our customers and stockists as our company grew. We were named Edinburgh's Best Independent Retailer in 2018 and have continued to thrive since -priding ourselves on our five star service and quality products.
HARRIS TWEED®
For well over a century, islanders of the Outer Hebrides of Scotland have woven the beautiful and intricate cloth known as Harris Tweed®.
It is the only fabric in the world that is protected by its own Act of Parliament, meaning that by law, the cloth must be made from pure virgin wool which has been dyed and spun on the islands and handwoven at the home of the weaver. From start to finish, the cloth is in the hands of skilled and experienced artisans who oversee every stage of production, utilising generations of knowledge to produce a product that is defined by quality and style. Harris Tweed® is crafted by hand without the aid of automation or electricity, using natural materials.
