The Texture of Irish Life
At STABLE we believe our Irishness is rooted in our cultural heritage in textiles and craft. Irishness is proud, warm and kind. It is wild, creative, beautiful and melancholy. It is our weather, it is our landscape. It is the very hands of the people who make and craft across the island of Ireland, north and south. Precious skills with natural materials in past centuries were honed out of necessity for daily life in rural communities and today our priority is to honour, respect and preserve this.
We wish to present our Irishness through the lens of what we hold from these past craft and textile traditions while adding a fresh approach to the design of our collections in order to suit the way we live today. By doing this, with every piece we hope to highlight the vibrant new skills of a growing pool of creative talent working in craft on the island.
A large focus for our work is to gain a deeper understanding of Ireland through what we make. Everything we do has a story; the history of the craft, the textile, the art, the location, the background to the wonderful people who make with us. Each and every scarf, throw, piece of clothing or home accessory is deeply imbued with it all. For us, it is a pure joy to do what we do and our wish is that you feel it too. Everything we design and make is built to last, working with natural materials as close to us as possible. We strive to run our business ethically and sustainably every day.

What does STABLE make?
We design pieces to wear and to live with — simple, generous and made to last, in textiles that feel unmistakably Irish.
- Irish linen scarves — our signature, in a palette drawn from the Irish landscape.
- Irish linen for the home — bed linen, napkins, tablecloths and tea towels.
- Blankets and throws — handwoven Donegal tweed and wool for the bed, sofa and beyond.
- Clothing — linen shirts, tweed coats and jackets, and Aran knitwear for women and men.
- The Crios — belts and scarves inspired by the traditional woven Crios of the Aran Islands.
- Living and gifting — baskets, Irish-made wood furniture, dog beds and gifts chosen to be kept for years.
Craftsmanship at STABLE
We refuse to see the disappearance of the hand, the story or the journey that comes with fine craftsmanship. We work with 40 different makers in Ireland.
Some of the makers we work with
Every STABLE piece passes through the hands of a maker before it reaches you. Many of our pieces are cut and hand-sewn in our own studio in central Dublin, then carried on foot to our shop off Grafton Street.
- Eddie Doherty, Donegal — the hand-weaver behind STABLE's original 2013 herringbone scarf, still a signature technique today.
- Molloy & Studio Donegal, Ardara, Co. Donegal — cloth and Donegal tweed weavers who create the rare fabrics used in STABLE's statement blankets, coats and gilets, some finished by couturier Peter O'Brien.
- Catherine McCann, Co. Wicklow — breeder of a flock of Romney sheep, whose exceptionally soft fleece is spun into the yarn for STABLE's Wicklow wool cloth.
- Pauline Hogan, Mullingar — basket maker trained under Joe Hogan, whose exquisite woven forms sit alongside STABLE's homeware collection.
- Brian Walsh, Co. Wicklow — specialist wood-turner behind STABLE's oak, walnut and chestnut stools and furniture, using naturally fallen wood from across Ireland.
- Linen weavers across Ireland — including Emblem in Wexford and Fergusons in Northern Ireland — who weave STABLE's linen on Irish looms.
