The Craft Behind the Harrods Collection: Cashmere

Where is Harrods cashmere made? Join us on a trip to the Scottish Borders and discover the craft behind the Harrods collection.  In the small town of Hawick – widely recognised as the ‘Home of Cashmere’ – lies the Barrie factory, where every Harrods cashmere sweater comes to life. This historic town in Scotland has been at the heart of the cashmere industry for generations, connecting a rich heritage of textile-making with innovation and artistry.   Our sweaters start with the longest cashmere fibres – and once the fibres arrive in Scotland, the transformation begins. Wondering how cashmere is made? At Barrie, the process is a blend of cutting-edge technology and traditional handcraft. Using state-of-the-art Shima Seiki machines – found nowhere else in the UK – the fibres are tightly knitted for softness and reduced pilling, while the amount of handwork required to finish each piece highlights the immense care and skill involved.   The final step? Hand-sewing the Harrods label onto each cashmere sweater, symbolising Barrie’s commitment to creating pieces to be treasured – passed from the maker’s hands, to yours.  The Craft Behind the Harrods Collection takes you behind the scenes with the partners who bring our Harrods collection products to life.
