On the Isle of Harris, you are spoilt for beautiful beaches, but Seilebost beach on the west coast is possibly the most beautiful. When the tide is out, a vast stretch of beach is exposed, leaving behind miles of complex ripples in the sand.

The design for the jumper is inspired by these ripples, and its subtle chevrons also give a nod to the herringbone patterns often seen in Harris Tweed.
