A bit about the brand...
Our founder Maire Hughes began weaving the story of Aran Woollen Mills in 1965, when she established the business to follow her passion for Irish craft, heritage and to provide employment locally in the West of Ireland.
For three generations since that modest first step, the family business has grown to become Ireland's largest Aran knitwear manufacturer. From Westport to the world, we are proud to be design-led global leaders in the manufacturing of traditional and contemporary knitwear.
For decades our trade customers have been inspired by our creativity, innovation and passion. Our garments are stylish, natural and sustainable - and most of all true to the heritage and history of Aran. Become part of our story.
