This month has brought some very special news for William & Irene — we are incredibly proud to share that we have received two national awards for 2026.
Diamond Distinction Awards 2026
Luxury Handmade Harris Tweed Home Décor – Winner
We are honoured to have been named Luxury Handmade Harris Tweed Home Décor Winner 2026 by the Diamond Distinction Awards.
Harris Tweed is at the very heart of what we do. Every piece we create is handmade in our Welsh coastal studio using authentic Harris Tweed cloth, woven in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. This award recognises not only the craftsmanship behind each cushion and home accessory, but also the care, time and heritage stitched into every seam.
Prestige Awards 2026/27
Home Décor Retailer of the Year – Winner
We are also delighted to share that William & Irene has been awarded Home Décor Retailer of the Year 2026/27 by the Prestige Awards.
This award celebrates independent businesses that demonstrate excellence in product quality, customer experience and brand values. To be recognised at this level — especially as a small, independently run brand — is both humbling and encouraging.
Every order that leaves our studio is carefully wrapped, thoughtfully made and genuinely appreciated. Our customers are at the heart of everything we do, and this award belongs as much to you as it does to us.
Thank You
Running a small heritage-led business requires resilience, creativity and belief — particularly in challenging retail climates. To receive not one but two awards this month feels like a quiet affirmation that craftsmanship, integrity and care still matter.
Thank you for supporting independent British design.
Thank you for choosing handmade.
And thank you for being part of the William & Irene story.
