The brand works with weavers and other makers across the island of Ireland, giving traditional textile skills a place in contemporary designs.
Best for Irish linen, woven scarves and home textiles in central Dublin
STABLE of Ireland is a useful stop for someone interested in textiles rather than a general souvenir assortment. Its Dublin shop sits in Westbury Mall, just off Grafton Street, with scarves and clothing alongside pieces for the home. Linen and woven fabrics are central to the collection, so comparing their feel in person is part of the reason to visit.
The brand works with makers across the island of Ireland, including weavers and knitters in both north and south. It draws on skills associated with rural life and gives them new uses in contemporary clothing and household textiles. That approach connects a scarf or throw to a craft tradition without requiring the buyer to choose a historical reproduction.
Irish making is an important part of STABLE's work, but its own sourcing statement includes the qualification that this happens where feasible. Check the individual piece if manufacturing origin is important to your purchase. The shop presents the full range and offers a place to ask about the textile and the people behind it.
