Our mill in Avoca village was originally set up as cooperative in 1723. Here, local farmers could grind their corn and spin and weave their wool for clothing for the local miners. Times were tough in rural Ireland and it was soon a vital local resource. At first, only uncolored yarn was used in tweed for clothing and blankets for beds. Later though, color came to the valleys as natural vegetable dyes in reds, greens and yellows began to be used. These were soon recognized as Avoca’s signature hues. Today, we have 12 locations across the country. After all this time, the ethos of Avoca remains the same. We cherish our time-honored traditions, which have been lovingly passed down through several generations. Today, there are third generation weavers working at the Mill. Our skills might be steeped in a long and rich tradition, but our attitude is to look to the future. Now heralded as one of Ireland’s most exciting retail stores, there are Avoca ceramics, clothing, perfumes, soaps and more from our own design studio. We have a host of award winning cafes and restaurants, food markets crammed with artisanal ingredients from near and far, as well as best-selling range of Avoca cookbooks. There are also gardens to explore at many of our stores, as well as florists and garden centers. The list goes on.

❤ATELIER VM – Founded in 1998 by Marta Caffarelli and Viola Naj-Oleari, Atelier VM is an Italian brand that challenges the conception of fine jewelry. The designers take inspiration from their everyday lives; the people they encounter, their memories and travels, are translated into their pieces – each of which has its own story. With a light, refined aesthetic at the forefront of every design, they believe that jewelry has the power to become entwined with the self, with each piece gradually becoming part of the person who wears it. Alchemy is the art of transforming one substance into another, of transmuting a common metal into gold; it is the power to create something magical, spiritual and eternal. Alchemists spent centuries in secrecy, experimenting in their laboratories with metals, with stones, wine various substances and with the elements. Atelier VM is an alchemical laboratory where a ring, a stone, a bracelet, a good luck charm become a moment, a feeling, a memory, a season, a person. Jewels that somehow materialize the intangible gifts of life and that once made and worn, grow with us and take on the shape of our fingers and necks, absorb our experiences and protect us along the way. This is our little alchemical secret. Since 1998, Marta Caffarelli and Viola Naj Oleari have been the soul of Atelier VM.

Headed up by its irreverent founded Alison Lloyd, Ally Capellino has mischief in its DNA. The brand is less interested in fashion’s season-to-season schedule and more interested in surprising collaborations, like a partnership with Tate, the design of Girl Guides and Brownie uniforms and a project with London’s first Ace Hotel. Satchels, totes and rucksacks for men and women who like their design to come without dictates. That’s the backbone of Ally Capellino, the accessories label so unlike your average fashion brand that, in the beginning, its name was never even intended to stick. A renegade from the outset founder Alison Lloyd’s debut collection to T-shirts sent up the 1980 Moscow Olympics scandal. After heading up young British design during that decade, her characterful classics have since brought her label international acclaim and cult status among like-minded customers. More than 30 years on, Ally Capellino accessories have taken their place on the global stage, reliant not on trends, but on timelessness and quality of design and discreetly representative of a discerning type of modern consumer. Lloyd’s faithful fans return time and again not for this season’s it-bag, but for unassuming and expertly made pieces that fit into their urban existence. An iconoclastic sense of fun and witty irreverence abides in bags named for Cabinet, Conservative and New Labor politicians and in the brand’s quintessentially British outlook. Numerous global stockists, two London shops, a collaboration with the city’s first Ace Hotel, a long running Artists range for Tate and 2010’s major retrospective at the Wapping Project mark Ally Capellino as one of the UK’s most successful homegrown brands. Not only that, but there is an integrity to the range, with production and practicality as high up on Alison Lloyd’s list as aesthetics. British design and waxed cotton, Italian veg tanned leather and attention to detail make up the unique mix of quirk and quality that is Ally Capellino.
