If like most of us, you cross-reference Accuweather, Met Eireann and The Farmer’s Almanac before leaving the house, then chances are, you’ve borne the brunt of Irish summer mood swings. Sunshine one moment; lashing rain the next. That’s where leather comes in: breathable, soft and resilient; it’s the ideal climate control companion. It always looks fresh and rarely looks love-worn like fairer-weather fabrics. Even its vegan friends go the distance.

Choose a warmer tone as a nod to the season.
