Historically, traditional Irish clothing for females dates back to the Middle Ages when Celtic women were handcrafting their own garments from fully natural materials and adorning them with intricate motifs and symbols inspired by the Celtic heritage. Even though nowadays Irish people do not wear their age-old costumes daily, they have kept their symbolic importance over the centuries through ethnic music, folk dance, and traditional holiday customs.
When it comes to authentic Celtic clothing, there are a couple of garments that became staples and a true representation of what the Irish wore in the past- the traditional Irish dress inspired by Gaelic and Norse fashion consisting of a short tunic for both men and women, commonly worn with a fringed cloak; the Brat, another veritable piece of Irish attire, often compared to a long cloak. Over time, the Brat, or Saffron Cloth, has evolved into a garment used and cherished predominantly by the upper class.; and lastly, the beloved Aran sweater, perhaps the most popular Irish clothing item for women. Traditionally worn in Ireland for generations by fishermen and their families, the remarkable Aran sweater has managed to evolve into a global phenomenon, admired by people all over the world.
We offer a wide range of luxurious Merino wool Aran sweaters and cardigans for women from top-notch brands such as SAOL, Aran Woollen Mills, Aran Crafts and Aran Isle, each with a rich history that shows off the beauty and uniqueness of Irish knitting culture. Aran-style sweaters were first crafted by women of the Aran Islands located off the western coast of Ireland in the 1890s. As fishing was the main livelihood of Aran Island men, wives, and mothers would knit these sweaters using unscoured wool to keep the fishermen insulated during the brutally cold winters. Aran sweaters became popular in the 1950s and 1960s, especially appreciated for their intricately woven patterns that carried symbolic meanings inspired by the simple yet admirable life on the islands. Some of the commonly known Aran stitches include the following:
