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.
Inishmore (Árainn) is the largest of the Galway Aran Islands and is an extension of the famous
limestone rocks of The Burren. The landscape of Inishmore is a patchwork of fields hemmed in by
precariously balanced dry stone walls.
The rugged landscape and unique culture of Inishmore and the other Aran islands has provided
inspiration to artists and poets over the centuries, and W.B.Yeats famously advised J.M. Synge to
‘Go to the Aran Islands, and find a life that has never been expressed in literature’. Synge
followed the advice, and it holds good for anyone wishing to experience the unique blend of
landscape and culture found on the islands. It is said that a visit to Inishmore will remain in the
heart for eternity.
