Irish craft’s many strands

FASHION thrives on diversity and Irish craft is brimming with creativity.

At one end of the spectrum are natural fabrics with raw textures and a muted palette reigning supreme. Petria Lenehan’s oversized coat is thoughtfully tailored to create an understated, yet super-cool silhouette. Made by Molloy and Sons, using Donegal tweed, it is exquisitely finished inside with Liberty print, wool trim.

Eilis Boyle’s kitten-soft, cashmere scarfs are so comforting, it’s difficult not to fall in love with them, while Fashion Hothouse’s unbleached linen shorts are flatteringly cut high on the hip, and skim the body like a pair of pretty, vintage tap shorts. Tutty’s handmade shoes are around since 1946; bespoke classics that give any look an enviably effortless finish.
