Lismore Crystal... An Enduring & Timeless Irish Gift

One of the most enduring and timeless Waterford Crystal collections is the Lismore which is derived from the ancient Irish description of a "great ringfort". It is said that the Lismore Collection is strongly influenced by the Gothic architecture of Lismore Castle in County Waterford which dates back almost the 800 years.

Capes & Shawls... an iconic Irish fashion accessory

September is upon and temperatures are gradually tiptoeing south as we move in to the autumnal season.

Aran Sweaters

'Aran' is a style of sweater that takes its name from the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland. Often known as a Fisherman sweater, they are distinguished by their use of complex textured stitch patterns, several of which are combined in the creation of a single garment.
