The Story Behind Irish Tweed
Irish tweed, especially Donegal tweed, has been woven into Irish life for generations. The wild Atlantic winds and earthy hills of Donegal produced a tough, warm fabric that was once used to clothe farmers and fishermen. Over time, its quality and durability made it a fashion icon.
Today, tweed is just as much about style as it is about substance—and it lives on in everything from coats to bags.
