Mourne tweed.
Woven in the foothills
of the Mournes.
Mourne Textiles was founded in Rostrevor, County Down, in 1954 by Gerd Hay-Edie, a Norwegian weaver who had made the Mournes her home. Her daughter Karen, a master weaver, carried it on, and today her grandson Mario runs the mill: three generations at the same craft. Some of the looms have been in the workshop for more than fifty years.
Here, a tweed with a texture you can feel before you touch it, set against the smooth shine of black beetled linen. Two Irish cloths, side by side.
One pair of hands,
start to finish.
Every piece is cut and sewn in Belfast by one of our sewists, who sees it through from the first cut to the last stitch.
We keep our making close to home on purpose. Belfast was once the linen capital of the world, and the skills that built it are rare now. Making here is how we keep them alive.
