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.
Each of these Mulligans Ireland “Island Range” of shawls has been inspired by and named after an
Irish Island. Each one comes with a story about the island, its history and inhabitants.
