Here’s how to buy Irish for one of this season’s biggest trends …
One of autumn’s biggest knitwear trends is the XL scarf. Opt for luxury versions in wool and cashmere to warm you up even on sub-zero days. Luckily, you’ll find a great selection of designer women’s scarves available right here in Ireland. Designer Lou Brennan’s new merino wool reversible blanket scarf collection features soft, generously sized XL scarves that make dressing for even the coldest weather an enjoyable affair. Knitted in the west of Ireland, award-winning Brennan was inspired by dramatic weave patterns found in the iconic Irish shawls. These heavily stylised patterned shawls, often with paisley motifs, were to be widely known as Galway shawls, intended mostly for the Irish market. We also love Irish design duo KDK’s new Elements scarves. They’re perfect for wintry days and the gorgeous neutral hues will coordinate with all your favourite coats. The Elements collection is made from a blend of cashmere (70%) and bamboo (30%) and has a soft hand feel but with added durability. A good travel scarf is your secret weapon in the air. Lucy Nagle’s very pretty super-sized cashmere travel wraps are perfect for keeping cosy on a short or long-haul flight. Here is our edit of the best online now …
