Inis Meáin has been designing and making high quality Aran Sweaters in the Aran Islands for almost 50 years. Every garment that carries the Inis Meáin label is made with care by our artisans in our workshop in Inis Meáin, the middle island of the Aran Islands since 1976. Here we design and make contemporary Aran knitwear that takes inspiration from our archive of traditional aran patterns and from the unique nature of the Aran Islands.

Inis Meáin is a place of wild and rugged beauty, to make a living on the island has always called for a spirit of independence, resourcefulness and innovation. Inis Meáin Knitting Company was born into this spirit of independence and resourcefulness. The collections that we design in Inis Meáin are inspired by the traditional dress of the islanders and our environment — with a touch of luxury.

Many of the long-standing Inis Meáin team at our Island workshop have grown up on the Aran Islands, surrounded by Aran knitting traditions and Aran Fisherman Sweaters. Inspired by the highly decorated styles once prized as Sunday Best formal wear on the Island, the Inis Meáin signature Aran cable knits combine luxury with this heritage. Aran patterns were passed down within families with pride and Inis Meáin Knitwear have expanded the Aran repertoire by designing and patenting additional original Aran Sweater Patterns over the years. These are integrated into many styles of Womens and Mens Aran Sweaters as well as Aran Scarves and Accessories, all knit in the most premium of yarns including super-fine Cashmere and Merino yarn from Italian heritage producer, Filati Biagioli Modesto; Baby Alpaca, Silk and European Linen – all made to the highest environmental standards using only organic dyes. Designed, made and hand-finished in our Aran Islands workshop.
