IrelandsEye Knitwear started with 6 members of the O’Sullivan family in 1988 and our business has now involved 3 generations of the same family. For 35 years we’ve not only kept the dream alive, we’ve carved out our own niche, putting our contemporary spin on traditional Irish knitwear and evolving as an international brand.
FROM CONCEPT TO CREATION
Great design takes time. Careful consideration underlies everything we do. From the initial spark of an idea in our designer’s sketchbook, to choosing the right stitch pattern, texture and colour, to working closely with our suppliers to create the perfect yarn, we take all the time we need to get it just right. Our talented team combines traditional craftsmanship with the latest technology to bring each design to life.
INSPIRED BY THE COLOURS OF NATURE
The contrasting colours and delicate tones of nature inspire the wide selection of colourways available in each of our pieces. From vibrant colours inspired by local flora and fauna to deeper tones inspired by the darker shades found across our dramatic Irish landscape, nature’s hues weave their way through each of our garments. This can be seen in the different colourways available in our best-selling Clover Cardigan, like Sunflower Yellow, Sage Marl and Green Marl.
If you think the colours of our knitwear are like nothing you’ve seen before, that’s because they aren’t. We work closely with our suppliers to create bespoke colours that are completely unique to us.
CONSCIOUSLY CRAFTED
Nature is the source of our inspiration, as well as the source of our raw materials, so we are very conscious of our duty to protect it. We tread lightly, carefully considering how each step in our process impacts the world around us, constantly adapting and refining as we go.
OUR KNITWEAR IS NOT JUST SOMETHING YOU WEAR, IT'S MADE TO TREASURE
We are dedicated to creating pieces that people will love and cherish. No-one shares our vision and our inspiration more than Melanie, one of our loyal and valued customers, who wears our knitwear every day and even has a view of the island of Ireland’s Eye from her window.
