    Irish tweed from Mourne Textiles, woven in County Down, gives The Shawl its character. The family-run mill brings three generations of skill and knowledge to its weaving. Lined in Irish linen, the shawl falls from the shoulders in a generous, poncho-like shape, with space for the texture of the cloth to show. A tie at the top holds it in place.

    It draws on our Irish Brat, reworked here into a different silhouette. The drape does much of the dressing: a broad sweep of tweed over a shirt or knit, with the linen lining beneath.

    Wear it over the Off Duty Joggers for a walk, or over a dress when the day calls for something more. A new way to carry a familiar Irish tradition.

    Pieces from the same season.

    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.
