Welcome to the home of Anna Macneil - we are a small team who design and make Harris Tweed fashion accessories and textile items for the home. We take our inspiration from various sources - history, landscape, nature - and create designs for embroidery. Everything starts life as scribbles and sketches on paper. How it develops from there depends on what it is, what mood we are in, which of us is doing the design - we all have different ways of working. The function of each item we make is as important as the aesthetics. Linings, fastenings, finishing techniques are all carefully thought-out and tested. The products have been developed because we ourselves wanted them for personal use, or because friends and relatives wanted them. In other words - they have a practical purpose and have all been tried and tested before they go into production. Our hats are designed to keep your head warm - and to not blow off in the wind! Our scarves are cosy as well as decorative. The bags and purses are all fully lined and have secure fastenings. The cushions have well stuffed, polyester filled, polycotton covered pads which we make ourselves and the covers are removable for cleaning. Read more on the About Us page. Next retail event - I will have a stall at the Highland Field Sports Fair at Moy, just a few miles south of Inverness. This is a two day event (6th and 7th August) with something for everyone. I will be sharing my space with my friend, stained glass artist Gail Steele of Half-A-Moon. So if you are in the area, why not come and visit us. I will have more or less my full range of products at the event provided we get enough made over the next couple of weeks. At the moment the shops we supply seem to keep coming back for more stock so that it is difficult for us to build up our own stock. On-line shop - If you can't get to the Moy Fair, why not use our on-line shop? You can select things we already have in stock or order something in the colours and designs of your choice. You are welcome to email us with any queries you have. We hope you enjoy your visit, and that you’ll soon be purchasing one or two (or more!) Anna Macneil creations.

Pictured above is a size E wallhanging featuring two intertwined birds - some believe this symbolises the concept of everlasting friendship. Below are just a few examples of the things we make. Full details of each can be found on the appropriate pages of the on-line shop. | |||
