    Model is 5'8.5", UK 8, wears S/M

    Twinkle Tweed has room to shine here. Eight different threads are carefully woven together to create its textured gold cloth and distinctive twinkle, a balance of texture and shimmer that takes time and skill to achieve. The Donegal tweed catches the light across the long sweep of the cape.

    The shape takes its cue from traditional choir robes, falling over the layers beneath. An ivory linen lining gives a pale contrast inside, and a tie fastening at the top holds it together.

    Wear it over a simple black dress, or gather the whole Twinkle family together with the matching Bralette and Puff Shorts. There is something rather lovely about arriving in a cape.

    Donegal tweed.
    Woven in Ardara.

    Woven on the Atlantic edge of Ireland, by a family who have done it for six generations. The yarn is spun and dyed close to the loom, and the colours come from what surrounds it: the sea, the hills, the changing sky.

    Here, eight different threads are woven together into a textured gold. Balancing the texture with the shimmer takes time, and skill.

    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.
