Following on from last year's success in Glasgow, this celebration of tweed on wheels will be bringing the inaugural Edinburgh Festival of Cycling to a close. The route is still to be confirmed, but will start off in the New Town and follow a scenic route through the capital, with an after party featuring a swing band.

The Dunmore van will be there on the day, with a fabulous selection of our Harris Tweed bags. Look out for us and come and say hello on the day! What's more, we're offering a special 15% off all our Harris Tweed pieces in conjunction with Informed Edinburgh, so you can get kitted out in style before the day.

All you have to do is enter the discount code Informed15 with your purchase to receive 15% off!

The Dunmore van will be on the road again, and this time we're heading to the glamorous Boutique Shopping Arcade at Kelso Ladies Day on Sunday 26 May. 

This unique shopping village will be overflowing with luxury items to appeal to all race-goers, from jewellery to clothes and of course bags and accessories. 

We'll be showcasing a range of our most popular items, including our equestrian style leather Saddle Bags, beautiful Silk Scarves, unique leather Totes and a whole lot more.

Gates open at 12pm and the first race is at 1pm. 

Be sure to swing by our stand if you're attending on the day- we'd love to see you! 

Adding some pastel to your outfit will put you on trend this season, and as long as you stick to the basic principles of colourblocking there’s no going wrong.

If you’re not planning on going to town on candy clothes, we suggest a soft splash of this colour trend in the form of some beautiful accessories.

So here it is... The Emeli, our perfectly pastel Ladies Tote.

It’s made form baby pink Angus Grain soft leather and lined in matching pale pink suede. The straps are long enough to go over the shoulder and it’s complete with two internal zip pockets and an external open pocket to fit all your essentials in.

Refresh your look with this elegant piece of arm candy!



Scotland Week ( April 3- 10) has kicked off in New York City, with a series of promotional events taking place including Tartan Day on April 6 and the 10k Scotland Run.

We’ve sent across three bags from our brand new collection (coming soon!) and are delighted that they’ll be representing a piece of the Scottish Textiles Industry in the big apple.

We donated one of our lovely Heilan' Coo Cotton Canvas Tote Bags to their auction and were delighted to have been a part of such a successful event.

 The Pineapple was added to the ancestral home of the Earls of Dunmore in 1761 by John Murray (the 4^th Earl of Dunmore). It contained a hothouse on the lower level, used, as its name suggests, for growing pineapples. Since then it’s had many uses and owners, and now belongs to the Landmark Trust and can be rented as a holiday home.

Lady Catherine Murray, Countess of Dunmore, is often cited as the driving force of Harris Tweed in the nineteenth century. After inheriting her late husband’s estate on the Isle of Harris, she became instrumental in the promotion and development of this luxury fabric.

During the economic difficulties of the Highland Potato Famine of 1846-7, Catherine had the Murray tartan copied in tweed by local weavers to help alleviate the hardships suffered by the estate. She went on to widen the market by financing and organising training to bring the fabric in line with machine-made materials, and introducing tweed to her aristocratic friends to establish markets in Edinburgh and London.

The Dunmore Pineapple is a symbol of unique design, with links to the expansion of Scotland’s textile industry. And that’s why our brand is Dunmore Scotland.
