A heritage piece reimagined.
Inspired by the traditional brat (pronounced brawt), it was a traditional Irish cloak, traditional Irish cloak, worn by both men and women as a versatile outer layer. It provided warmth, shelter and protection—serving as a blanket by night, a shawl by day, and even as covering on long, slow journeys across the isalnd. Deeply tied to heritage, the brat was a treasured piece, often passed down through generations.
We’ve reimagined this timeless garment for our SS25 collection, crafting it in tumbled lime Irish linen, our short version is designed to move you effortless from day to dinner.
The Irish Brat is a loose-fitting jacket with an oversized wrap scarf, intended to be worn and styled to your preference—layered, draped, knotted or thrown over the shoulders. It offers a comforting, cocoon-like silhouette, rooted in tradition yet made utterly modern. An effortless statement piece.
Complete the look with the matching Parachute Skirt.
The model is 5’8 and UK 8.
