New Arrivals - Book of Kells inspired merino wool scarves from Avoca Handweavers
Avoca Handweavers x Trinity Gift Shop - Inspired by the Book of Kells.
Avoca Handweavers, Wicklow, recently collaborated with Trinity Gift Shop to create fashionable handwoven scarves that pay homage to the Book of Kells. These premium scarves, inspired by Ireland's greatest cultural treasure, are crafted by skilled weavers that take great pride in producing high-quality pieces that are made to be cherished.
First founded in 1723, Avoca Handweavers is one of the oldest woolen mills worldwide and the oldest in Ireland. While existing for hundreds of years, the business has undoubtedly experienced many changes throughout the decades. Still, one thing remains the same — the quality of each piece produced by skilled professionals. Because of the unmatched quality of each piece, the company has blossomed into a multichain business with 13 physical locations across the country. Known for their time-honored traditions and quality items passed on from one generation to the next, Avoca continues to bring fashionable pieces with a classic touch to the forefront.
The Perfect Accessory to Add to Your Collection
The Book of Kells Avoca scarves are made 100% merino wool, which is thinner and softer than regular wool and is light enough to wear all year round. The bolder shades and bright hues will keep you stylish but cosy throughout all seasons. Since the artists have crafted these scarves with carefully selected yarns, they're amongst some of the most stunning and convenient pieces to add to the closet and pair with different outfits.
Show off your love for Ireland while wearing one of the soft, lavish scarves in unique colors. These bolder shades are sure to make anyone stand out while adding that oomph factor to different outfits, such as a traditional blazer with khakis, yoga pants and t-shirt, or even a simple dress. It’s the kind of accessory you can comfortably wear around you all year long. Be sure to wear the label on each scarf facing out, since it features an intricate drawing from the Book of Kells.
An Incredible Gift for Someone Special
While these beautiful merino scarves are the perfect addition to your closet as a versatile accessory to wear with all your favorite outfits, they're also the ideal gift to give to someone special in your life. The distinctive pieces are sure to help your loved ones make a fashion statement while keeping comfortable throughout the year. From the innovative yet simplistic design to the touch of elegance and soft, smooth material, Avoca weaves these stunning scarves with color and creativity, making them perfect for women, men, and children.
