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.
Inis Cathaigh or Scattery Island lies in the Shannon Estuary, off the coast of Kilrush, County
Clare. The island was founded by St. Senan (Senán mac Geircinn), a prominent sixth century Munster
saint. he was renowned for his sanctity and miracles. Inis Cathaigh became not only a famous abbey
but the seat of a bishopric with St. Senan as its first bishop. only men were allowed on Scattery
Island while Senan was there, legend has it that when his sister, St. Conainne died, she willed it
that she would be buried near Senan. To stay true to his own edicts, Senan waited till low tide to
bury her in the inter-tidal zone, which was not strictly the “island”, thus fulfilling his sister’s
wish.
