From humble beginnings in a Yorkshire cottage, back in 1865, to establishing as Britain’s leading silk specialist, enjoy the rich tapestry that is the story of James Hare.   James Hare began with a foundation of experience and an understanding for the needs of the tailoring trade.

The company was amongst the first to recognise the unique beauty of Harris Tweed. Mr Herbert Morris, the only non-family director, love the Islands and spent his holidays there. Through his foresight and guidance, Hare’s became the largest stockist of Harris Tweed in the world. Centuries later, James Hare has created an honorable reputation, and has since re-established itself as a silk merchant of many aesthetics. Today, James Hare is Britain’s leading silk specialist. It is still family owned and run by the Hare family, producing luxury textiles for the demanding world of fashion and interiors. Firm favourites with leading designers and decorators, James Hare luxurious fabrics are famous worldwide.
