Meet the Cadhla you know and love — reimagined in black beetled linen.

This piece is a true meeting of our first loves at Kindred: our best-selling Cadhla silhouette and Ireland’s rare beetled linen. Beetling is an age-old process, unique to this island, where linen is pounded for hours with wooden blocks to create a subtle sheen and a crisp, structured handfeel. Once a hallmark of Irish linen production, only one mill in Ireland still performs this craft — and it remains a material close to our heart.

Cadhla’s reversible design makes her endlessly versatile. Wear her buttoned to the front for a classic shirt look, or turn her around for a clean, elevated silhouette that transitions beautifully into evening. The beetled linen lends an architectural quality, holding its shape while softening beautifully over time. The linen also has a light sheen, adding an almost leather like quality to the shirt.

A piece to carry you through seasons and occasions, the Black Beetled Cadhla Shirt is made to be worn, loved and lived in — a Kindred favourite, now with a striking new character.

Features:

  • Beetled Irish linen — a heritage finish unique to Ireland
  • Crisp handfeel with a subtle sheen
  • Reversible design: buttons to the front or back
  • Relaxed silhouette for easy wear
  • Beautiful worn alone or open as a light layer

Care

This Kindred of Ireland piece is crafted from Irish Beetled linen, a fabric steeped in centuries-old tradition dating back to the 1700s. The labor-intensive beetling process, performed in Co. Derry by the last beetlers in the world, involves dampening and pounding the linen with wooden blocks for hours. This unique method imparts a special character to each garment, preserving a story of ancient craft and tradition unique to Ireland.

Care Instructions: 

Dry Clean Only:  Due to the delicate nature of beetled linen and to preserve its unique texture and integrity, we recommend dry cleaning only. Professional dry cleaning ensures expert care tailored to delicate fabrics like beetled linen.

Avoid Direct Sunlight:  Protect your beetled linen garment from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent potential fading and maintain its original colour and lustre.

Storage:  When not in use, store your beetled linen piece in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging on sharp hooks; instead, opt for padded hangers or fold neatly to maintain its shape.
