Symbolism & Storytelling

Every stitch tells a story of Ireland’s rugged wild Atlantic west coast and the lives of those who lived on its Aran Islands.

Honeycomb Stitch
Inspired by the industrious bee and the biblical “Land of Milk and Honey,” the honeycomb stitch symbolizes the rewards of hard work and worldly success

Cables
Echoing the sturdy ropes that guided fishermen across Galway Bay’s treacherous wild Atlantic seas, cable stitches stand for protection, guidance, and the intertwined bonds of family and community, reflecting partners “working side by side,” and individual strength within the collective.

Aran Islands Inspiration
On the three Aran Islands of Inis Mor, Inis Meain, and Inis Oir, the knitters and weavers drew patterns from the Aran Islands’ lore and landscape, passing down hundreds of stitches by eye and hand—most notably the honeycomb, cables, and diamonds you see in your garment today.
