Discover the Warm World of Irelands Eye Knitwear: A Masterpiece of Traditional Craftsmanship and Family Passion
Deeply rooted in the heart-warming traditions of Ireland, the story of Irelands Eye Knitwear began in the 1960s, driven by a family who shared a love of knitting and an ambition to share this passion with the world. Based in Dublin, the O’Sullivan family decided to start their own knitwear business, driven by a deep-rooted commitment to craftsmanship and quality.
A Family of Knitters:
The founders, with a heritage steeped in generations of knitters, wanted to not only continue their family traditions but also create a place where the warmth of handmade knitting could be shared with others. The love of creating beautiful garments by hand became the driving force behind Irelands Eye Knitwear.
Tradition in Modern Times:
What truly sets Irelands Eye apart is the ability to seamlessly blend tradition with modernity. While building on the heritage of Irish knitting patterns passed down through generations, the brand also embraces contemporary design and comfort, creating a unique collection that combines the warmth of the past with the style of the present.
Ethical Commitment:
The driving force behind Irelands Eye goes beyond fashion; it encompasses an ethical approach to production. By refusing to use mulesing, a controversial practice in the wool industry, the brand shows that it is not only committed to aesthetics, but also to responsibility towards people and animals.
Made with Love in Ireland:
Irelands Eye cherishes its local roots and proudly contributes to the preservation of Irish knitting traditions by keeping all production domestic. This not only ensures high-quality garments, but also underlines the importance of local communities and artisan expertise.
