The iconic Aran sweater takes its name from the trio of islands at Ireland's most westerly point, just off the coast of county Galway. Every stitch tells a story, rich in symbolism and island folklore. The classic Diamond stitch, one of the most popular stitches on Aran sweaters, wishes the wearer wealth and success, while the much-loved honeycomb stitch, is said to bring good fortune. Born out of necessity, they were the original "fisherman sweater", giving much-needed protection from the unforgiving wild Atlantic ocean. Throughout the 1930s and 40s, they gained popularity around the world and when Grace Kelly appeared in an Aran jumper on the cover of vogue in the 1950s, this humble Irish sweater was catapulted to iconic status, cementing its reputation as an Irish apparel classic. At the Irish Store, we have scoured the country to bring you the very best of Irish knit sweaters and Irish cardigans in luxurious Irish wool, super soft merino, and cashmere blends.
