Caher Island lies off the coast of Co Mayo and is Barely one mile in length, however among local
fishermen it is considered to be one of the holiest islands of Connaught. Some believe miraculous
cures can be achieved by lying overnight in St Patrick’s bed, (Leaba Phádraig), or by dirnking
water from St Patrick’s well. For generations sailors would lower their sails and say a little
prayer when sailing close to its shore. One sailor who showed no such respect however was the
infamous Pirate Queen, Grace O’Malley, who landed on Caher Island to capture a MacMahon follower
who killed her Spanish lover. Named after the islands of Ireland, and inspired by their stories and
history, our Island Range of shawls and scarves is a fusion of modern Irish design and colour
palette together with the traditional Celtic knot weave or ‘snaidhm celtic’ in Irish/Gaelic. This
union of old and new creates a stunning range of exciting and innovative Pashminas that will bring
a splash of Celtic splendour to transform any outfit in your wardrobe.
