Fashion of Ireland

Fashion of Ireland!

Thrilled to be now stocking Fashion of Ireland!

Fashion of Ireland is an online boutique of contemporary Irish design including fashion, jewellery and accessories. Our designers have been carefully selected to ensure the highest standard of quality and design. At Fashion of Ireland we believe that we should slow down fashion by choosing quality over quantity and reducing our consumption and waste of clothing.

Fashion of Ireland was founded by Phoebe Webb in the heart of Cork city. After graduating from the Limerick School of Art & Design and working for The Sunday Times, Style magazine, Irish Tatler magazine, Blarney Woollen Mills and Meadows & Byrne she decided to make her dreams a reality and start Fashion of Ireland. Phoebe has always had a love for all things fashion, and an eye for detail and good design. She is passionate about making the fashion industry more sustainable, by supporting, buying and wearing Irish.

Animal Print in The Irish Times

Mono Jungle SnoodMany thank to Deirdre McQuillan for the mention in The Irish Times this week.

‘Knit designer Heather Finn, who has just become the proud mother of a baby girl called Ruby Rose, has drawn on her grandmother’s wardrobe for her latest collection called “Jungle Glitter”.  Her usual skill with colour has been mixed with Lurex and other metallic threads for a sparkling collection inspired by 1940s leopard, zebra and giraffe prints associated with her flamboyant grandmother, in soft cashmere and lambswool. The mix of capes, wraps, scarves and ponchos also includes other predator references, such as this tiger fringe snood in cashmere and lambswool (€95) which can be found in Jennifer Rothwell’s boutique in Powerscourt or direct from Finn’s website, heatherfinn.com’.
