Living on a beautifully windswept peninsula in the northernmost corner of Ireland, we’ve learned some things about keeping warm! And those things can be summarised with one word: olann.

The word olann means wool in Irish Gaelic. This miraculous, naturally ‘high-tech’ fibre has kept us insulated and dry for centuries. And today, more than ever, the importance of wool as a healthful, renewable, and tremendously effective resource cannot be underestimated.

Also? Let’s be honest here: There is nothing quite as cozy as a real woollen jumper!

In Spring 2025 we look forward to sharing with you our collection of contemporary knitwear that reflects the aesthetics, traditions, and sensibilities of life in present-day Donegal.
Welcome to Inish Ollan! And you can read more about us here.
