British Heritage Brand Holland And Holland Releases A New House Tweed
Holland & Holland's new House Tweed Holland & Holland For nearly two centuries, British heritage brand Holland & Holland has been known for offering luxury and performance in the field. One of the leading manufacturers of sporting shotguns and rifles since its foundation in 1835, the company has earned a reputation for innovation and excellence, holding Royal Warrant from both King George V and Queen Elizabeth II. And now, the label has debuted a new fine cloth that encapsulates its esteemed shotguns. Holland & Holland's new House Tweed Holland & Holland Emmanuel Guegan, Clothing and Accessories Manager at Holland & Holland said, 'How do you convey the essence of a Holland & Holland, a fabled British handmade firearm, into its most natural and legitimate companion, the tweed garment? This was the challenge we set ourselves 24 months ago, morphing and weaving the hues and subtleties of our case hardening, gold inlays and deeply oiled walnut stocks into a fabric that honors the Holland & Holland legacy. Subtle yet rich, elegant yet strong; our House Tweed sets a new benchmark for sartorial elegance in the field.' Holland & Holland's new House Tweed Holland & Holland This tweed draws inspiration from the colors found in the marque's prized shotguns, think warm tones of walnut and steely blue that nods to the metalwork, golden highlights that allude to the precious metal inlays, and topped with the trademark racing green. As Emmanuel explains, 'The idea was: if Harris Holland had created a tweed fabric in 1835 to showcase next to his shotguns and rifles, what would it be and look like?' Holland & Holland's new House Tweed Holland & Holland Developed in collaboration with Lovat Mill in Scotland, which is another signal of manufacturing excellence, the tweed is crafted from 100% wool at a 14 oz weight. Alan Cumming of Lovat Mill, commented, 'We rarely develop a new tweed with such a rich backstory and provenance. Our vision was unanimous, a fusion of tradition, craftsmanship and artistry. This shared approach shines through in the material – perfectly soft, reliably durable, and, above all, strikingly beautiful.' Holland & Holland's new House Tweed Holland & Holland Of course, keeping production local is also a sustainability minded decision, 'It means for us that besides being a proprietary and exclusive fabric that defines Holland & Holland as a Bespoke House, we also have one of the smallest carbon footprints of the industry. Collaborating with skilled artisans and producing within the British Isles is part and parcel of the Holland & Holland ethos,' says Emmanuel. Holland & Holland's new House Tweed Holland & Holland Woven for durability, natural warmth and fine quality, this tweed features across the marque's Northwood, Harrow and Highgrove lines, and been tailored into everything from field coats and shooting vests, to trousers, skirts and flat caps, each piece expected to last season after season, a signature trait of this beloved brand. Holland & Holland's new House Tweed Holland & Holland It's also been designed to mix and match with other pieces, talking of the line Emmanuel says, 'It is intrinsically Holland & Holland, has a strong visual identity that connects the world of textile and soft goods with our 190 years old gun making and hard goods DNA. A performant and elegant distinctive fabric made for the sporting field and the great British outdoors.' Holland & Holland's new House Tweed Holland & Holland Holland & Holland's new House Tweed is now available across selected lines at the marque's Gun Rooms as well as the Holland & Holland Shooting Ground in Northwood, London, and online at Holland & Holland's new House Tweed Holland & Holland

King Charles sells £45 tweed coats for dogs
The King is selling £45 tweed coats for dogs, which are available through the Sandringham estate shop. The 'Happy Hound' coats, made exclusively for the shop at the monarch's Norfolk home, mirrors Charles's penchant for tweed. The special version for the royals' favourite household pet is listed online costing £44.99, with an accompanying description adding: 'Stylish, machine washable and with a water layer, the Sandringham tweed dog coat is perfect for frosty winter walks.' The sale of the Sherpa-fleece lined coats, hand-made in the UK, comes after the King and Queen recently adopted a new rescue puppy named Moley. The puppy, from Battersea Dogs and Cats home, was adopted by Camilla in May after the death of her beloved rescue terrier Beth. She adopted Beth in 2011 along with a second terrier, Bluebell, in 2012, from the same charity, of which she is patron. The King, also an avid dog lover, was given a Lagotto Romagnolo named Snuff earlier this year. Snuff, whose breed is a specialist truffle-hunting dog from Italy, is Charles's first dog in around two decades. The King is reportedly 'besotted' with him. The new additions to the Royal household will now be able to sport the new coats, which are made in Sandringham Royal Tweed with a brown collar and belt, and which come in small, medium and large. A notice in the Sandringham shop reads: 'Sandringham's loyal and trusted doggy visitors to the Royal parkland have been the inspiration for this collection. Pooches in the parkland can now look effortlessly stylish whilst enjoying a walk, wearing an elegant coat made in Sandringham Royal Tweed.' The monarch has been sporting tweed outerwear for decades, and the style is world-renowned as the epitome of British country chic. One of Charles's favourite coats is a herringbone tweed in a russet tone that has been a mainstay of his wardrobe since 1986, though it has been mended and updated over time. His Anderson & Sheppard tweed coat is regularly seen on Christmas morning as he attends church services at Sandringham.

King Charles 'is launching a Tweed jacket... for DOGS'
King Charles is said to be launching his own range of tweed jackets - for dogs - months after he and Camilla adopted their own pooches. The jackets, costing almost £50, have been made exclusively for the shop at his Sandringham estate in Norfolk. The monarch, 76, has been wearing a tweed jacket for decades and is now selling a special version created for man's best friend. Handmade in the UK, the coats are fashioned from Sandringham Royal Tweed with a brown collar and belt and said to be 'water layer resistant'. They come in small, medium and large, with prices ranging from £39.99 to £49.99, The Sun reports. The King and Queen's two dogs - Snuff and Moley - will be able to dress just like Charles as the coats hit the shelves. A notice in the shop reads: 'Sandringham's loyal and trusted doggy visitors to the Royal parkland have been the inspiration for this collection. 'Pooches in the parkland can now look effortlessly stylish whilst enjoying a walk, wearing an elegant coat made in Sandringham Royal Tweed.' Camilla, 77, adopted the Jack Russell-cross named Moley from Battersea Dogs' and Cats', months after she was heartbroken to lose her beloved Jack Russell Beth. While, Charles was given a Lagotto Romagnolo puppy - called Snuff - as a gift earlier this year, and he is reportedly 'besotted' with the new addition. Snuff, whose breed is a truffle- hunting dog from Italy, is King Charles' first dog in around two decades. The King previously had a Jack Russell called Tigga who he adopted shortly after starting a family with Princess Diana. However, the pup died in 2002 aged 18. The source said: 'Charles is besotted with his puppy. 'He hasn't had one since Tigga. The breed is a truffle-hunter. 'Charles enjoys mushroom foraging, so they have a lot in common.' Camilla spoke about adopting a new puppy in February from the world-famous Battersea Dogs and Cats home, where she adopted her dogs Beth and Bluebell in 2011 and 2012 respectively. Her Majesty adopted Beth from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, in South London, in 2011 and fellow Jack Russell terrier Bluebell joined the family the following year. Pictured: Queen Camilla picking up her nine-week-old Jack Russell terrier rescue Bluebell, with Beth, in December 2012 She said: 'I've just got a new puppy, he's eight weeks old. 'It's a rescue dog called Moley. It looks just like a mole.' Her Majesty was left heartbroken when Beth, a Jack Russell Terrier, died last November. When the King attended the Royal Variety Performance weeks later, he told TV presenter Amanda Holden - who is an ambassador for the world-famous animal rescue centre in London - that they planned to get a new dog.

King Charles launches tweed jackets for DOGS with eye-watering price tag
KING Charles has launched stylish tweed jackets costing almost £50 — for dogs. The monarch, 76, known for his own love of the coats, is now selling a special version for pooches. 2 2 Made in Sandringham Royal Tweed with a brown collar and belt, the jackets have been created specially for the shop at his estate in Norfolk.

Rue Agthonis Maps A Mediterranean Journey Through Two Seasons
Rue Agthonis Maps A Mediterranean Journey Through Two Seasons. Pictured: look from the brand's AW25 collection Courtesy of Rue Agthonis For its two seasonal collections in 2025, luxury house Rue Agthonis has painted a complete portrait of the Mediterranean soul — from the sun-drenched spring to the contemplative winter — in a variety of dramatic and vibrant hues. Known for injecting a dose of modernity into premium tweed, the label marries craftsmanship and natural inspiration again for both SS and AWE25 by showcasing untamed beauty of the Mediterranean landscape. In a unique interpretation of ancient Olympian aesthetics, the house's SS25 collection 'Embracing the Essence' transported audiences to the Apollo's Muse Room with visions of turbulent ocean waves and verdant olive groves. Rue Agthonis' founder and creative director, Syl, has crafted a range of looks with a specific color palette in mind — one that emanates a resort feel that's languorous yet sophisticated, complete with striking authenticity and a unique energy that reminds one of the scenes of White Lotus 2. Adopting warm sunlit tones fused with deep oceanic blues and vibrant greens, Syl describes the collection as 'a visual journey through the Mediterranean landscape.' The designer, whose background spans theatre academy in Shanghai and fashion design in New York, says the region's charm always spoke to her. Look from Rue Agthonis' SS25 collection Courtesy of Rue Agthonis 'Its contrasts of rugged coastlines against serene waters mirror the duality we embrace at Rue Agthonis,' says Syl, referring to Rue Agthonis' spring presentation. 'With 'Embracing the Essence,' I wanted to capture that natural tension between structure and fluidity, between resilience and grace.' This Mediterranean meditation continued into fall, but with dramatically different visuals and silhouettes. 'The Glimpse of Radiance,' unveiled at London's historic Raffles Hotel, dials down on the vibrancy of spring and summer, and explores the same coastal landscape through the lens of twilight and memory. Where this year's first collection celebrates the brilliant clarity of day, autumn embraces the mystery of shadows — think deep shades of black, navy, and charcoal punctuated by glimmers of metallic tinsel. The evolution is in line with Syl's preferred approach to seasonal storytelling. Both collections feature the house's signature materials — luxurious tweeds, shimmering sequins, and flowing silks — with their application reflecting the changing light of the Mediterranean year. Spring's sequins captured the playful dance of sunlight on water; autumn's sequins 'shimmer delicately across structured forms, catching the light with every movement like fragments of a dream.' Looks from Rue Agthonis' SS25 collection Courtesy of Rue Agthonis Look from Rue Agthonis' AW25 collection Courtesy of Rue Agthonis Opting out of its usual runway show and instead staging a presentation, Rue Agthonis follows a trend in luxury names shifting their focus away from the crowded fashion week schedules, and instead creating an immersive experience that's more meaningful to press, buyers, and customers. This decision, Syl notes, reflects the brand's commitment to authenticity. 'These pieces demand to be experienced up close — the interplay of light on our sequins, the depth of our tweeds, the movement of our silks. I've always believed that true luxury reveals itself in the details, in those moments of discovery that can't be rushed.' Rue Agthonis's ethos of striking a delicate balance between resilience and grace — a duality that has become something of a signature for the brand — has allowed the brand to carve out a distinct position in the luxury landscape, one that prioritizes attention to finer details and storytelling that resonates. The Mediterranean thread connecting both collections speaks to something deeper than seasonal inspiration, and notes on the region's enduring feminine vitality and energy. Spring's 'stylishly glamorous yet tastefully coquettish' pieces celebrates vitality and energy, while autumn's 'knee-grazing column gowns rise like modern-day monoliths, embodying a serene authority and strength.'
