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.
Inis Cealtra (holy Island) lies off the western shore of Lough Derg in County Clare. It was once a monastic settlement, and in fact the cemetery on the island is still in use, with coffins and mourners being transported the short distance from County Clare in small boats. Inis Cealtra is scattered with ruins of religious and historical interest, including an Irish Round Tower.
The building of this tower and St. Caimin’s Church is ascribed to the eleventh century High King of Ireland Brian Boru. A significant figure in early Irish history, Brian Boru united the kingdoms of Ireland and lifted Ireland out of the ruins of the Norse Age.
