This green Harris Tweed glasses case features a proud Highland cow with distinctive flowing locks, carefully stitched onto the front.
An ideal gift for a bespectacled highland cow lover, or perhaps the perfect glasses case for yourself to remember a holiday in Scotland. The case is lined with soft felt, so is sure to keep your spectacles, or sunglasses clean, safe and scratch free.
To make the stitched design, I first draw the highland cow and cut the different colours from pieces of felt. I then stitch the intricate details using free motion embroidery. This technique is like drawing with a sewing machine - every line is stitched by eye which means each design is slightly different and you are buying an original, unique piece each time.
The Harris Tweed I use to make the case is bought directly from a weaver in Luskentyre on the Isle of Harris in Scotland. The earthy green colour of the cloth is a lovely mix of light and dark greens - it reminds me of a grassy field which would be perfect for a highland cow to graze on.
The case measures approximately 7 x 16 cm, and the official Harris Tweed orb label is sewn on the back.
Harris Tweed is made from 100% wool, and dry cleaning is recommended.
Please get in touch if you would like a different colour, size or design as I can make to order..
