STABLE of Ireland

"The luxury Irish design destination that celebrates Irish textiles"

The Irish Times

Deirdre McQuillan, Irish Times Fashion Editor: "Traditional Luxury. From socks and scarves to handknits and gloves, Stable have a fresh approach to traditional design."

Deirdre McQuillan, Irish Times Fashion Editor: "Their (STABLE of Ireland) collective strength lies in their ability to look at familiar aspects of Irish vernacular clothing in sophisticated new ways and reinterpret them with style, artistry and colour."

Excerpt from the article - The objects we make describe without words who we are, which is nowhere more evident than in our craft heritage. “Our Irishness is rooted in our cultural heritage, in textiles and craft” assert Sonia Reynolds and Francie Duff, founders of Stable of Ireland, which is now in its eighth successful year and one of the city’s premier destinations for luxury Irish design. When the two friends, who had modelled tweed and knitwear for Cleo in the 1980s, started a pre-Christmas popup boutique beside the Westbury Hotel in Dublin, all they had (besides a shared passion for design and Irish craft) was a collection of scarves – some in linen, others in wool – “but shown with beautiful garden shrubs and branches so it was sparse,” recalls Duff. Now permanent, Stable has grown exponentially from these modest beginnings to include accessories, homeware and clothing all designed and made in Ireland with a reputation for quality and excellence. “It is a celebration of Irish textiles,” says Reynolds.
