Why protect the ‘Harris Tweed’ brand? It has taken generations to build the ‘Harris Tweed’ brand into the popular global phenomena we see today. By using the brand consistently and systematically you strengthen the ‘Harris Tweed’ industry and provide a secure future for the islanders who depend upon it. You also help maintain the value of the cloth and demand for the products manufactured from it. The Harris Tweed Authority guards against unauthorised use of the ‘Harris Tweed’ brand because it erodes its recognisability and its ability to perform as a brand. It also compromises the trust of the businesses who invest in it and the customers who buy their products.
