Tissue is another Irish brand that I am in love with. Gráinne Finn and Hannah Mullan started Tissue in 2014. The clothes are strong. They have such a grasp for cut, color, and texture. It is no surprise to find out that Hannah has worked with some of my favorite designers such as Sharon Wauchob & Simone Rocha. When I first found Tissue I was like I can't wait to put that on my body. You know this is the kind of clothing that makes you not only look good but feel good.

I really enjoyed sharing a few of my favorite Irish designers with y'all. Something special is happening in Ireland right now and it is so much fun being able to experience it firsthand.

If you find yourself in Dublin check out the new MADE Dublin store at the top of Powerscourt Townhouse to shop some of the best of Irish design.

Edel Traynor is another designer that I found through Instagram. I scrolled through her feed & immediately went to her website. I was feeling a rush of inspiration. Edel beautifully mixes femininity and the industrial to create unique pieces. They use the finest cottons and make pieces to last instead of fast fashion. Edel previously studied architecture and I think that you can see that in her designs. 

I'm heading back to Ireland next week and I wanted to share 3 of my favorite Irish designers with you all. (there are a ton more that I love I just had to narrow down). I've been to Ireland a lot the past few years and you get the feeling that something really special is happening. Dublin is full of amazing talent, creativity, & inspiration. I'm always seeking out new Irish designers, photographers, & publications. 

The first designer I want to feature is Capulet & Montague. I found Lisa's designs through Instagram and my eyes popped. Her design's are so unique compared to a lot of what is on the market right now. They are simple yet complex. Bold and modern. I cannot wait to see her designs in person in a few weeks.

All last week I talked about my love of basics. But what my love of basics is rooted in in my love of classics. The things that we will have forever. The pieces that stand the test of time. Good design and quality materials will always be in style. When I was in Ireland a few weeks ago I was on a mission to find a classic cable knit sweater. It is safe to say I have been living in this Irelands Eye sweater the past few weeks and I will continue to do so. When I got home I knew I had to research the company. I love to know the story behind what I wear. While I was reading about Irelands Eye I was so captivated by the O'Sullivan's story of how their father started knitting their sweaters in the garage of their Dublin home. I love the inspiration drawn from the landscape of Ireland. You can feel it when you wear one of their pieces. I love classic design, design that has roots and love.
