Autumn / Winter 2025
Early Morning, Morning Early ...
For the Inis Meáin Autumn / Winter 2025 Collection we are entranced by a stunning sunrise — a magnificent intense-yellow streak bouncing on a sharply undulating sea creating new shades of orange, rust, navy, grey, teal and silver. Working closely with artisan yarn partner Filati Biagioli Modesto, we developed our very own fleck colours to recreate this special moment. Captured as the cargo boat approaches at dawn, the beauty of the island’s nature and the singularity of island life combine to create these moments of wonder that inspire our designs.
As an off-shore island, the sea is always first and foremost in mind, and our Lifeline series is inspired by the distinctive panel lines on the old-school life-jacket which we have replicated in a contemporary range of outerwear pieces. In addition to our much loved super-premium 100% Cashmere, Cashmere/Merino and Baby Alpaca/Silk yarns, an innovative blend of Merino and Linen creates a soft yet finely structured texture in some of our most signature pieces including the iconic Pub Jacket, Shirt Jacket and Roll Neck Tunic.
Bhí tionchar na farraige le brath ar gach gné
de shaol laethúil an oileáin. An chéad rud
a rinne duine ar eirí dó ar maidin, féachaint
uaidh amach ar an bhfarraige chuig tír mór.
The influence of the sea could be felt in every aspect of daily life on the island. The first thing to be done on rising in the morning, look out to sea towards the mainland.

New lighter weights are developed and mastered each season and this season sees an eight gauge Crew Neck, Turtle Neck and V-Neck in our exclusive Inis Meáin sunrise-fleck colours as year-round wardrobe staples. We have also created a lightweight version of two of our bestselling stitch-interest styles, the Patented Aran Sweater and the Caoladóir or Basketmaker Sweater to sit alongside our chunkier classics.
The intricately-coloured Varied Stripe series features a Tunic along with a new Mock Neck Sweater version; and there's a fresh take on the Pocket Sweater with contrasting trims and panels — all emulating the endless variety of colour and texture in the extraordinary island skies and seas. Moments of wonder abound.
