McConnell Woollen Mills Ltd

McConnell is an Irish knitwear brand with roots firmly on the West coast of Ireland.
 
&nbsp;
Founded at the turn of the century by fashion designer Anne Behan. Growing up in the Wild Atlantic Way deeply influenced Anne’s Designs. A strong family heritage of knitting ensured Anne was immersed in the craft as she watched the women of her family instinctively knit Aran sweaters without patterns or guides, having mastered the craft from previous generations. &nbsp;This experience created for Anne a love of knitwear that continues to inspire her to this day.
 
&nbsp;
Offering apparel with a strong focus on heritage and craftsmanship, the collections draw inspiration from the traditional utility Geansaí Árann, which produces fisherman rib sweaters fashioned for the modern wardrobe. Bold colour palettes feature in the McConnell collections, reflecting the natural beauty of Ireland's landscape. Men's and women's are designed with relaxed styling, modern proportions and contemporary detailing. Sourcing only sustainable natural yarns from mills of provenance in Ireland, Scotland and Italy. An all-female team designs, finishes and creates garments at our factory in Killaloe, Co. Clare. McConnell offers beautifully updated classics with modern elements and timeless design.
