Donegal Tweed

Vintage Donegal Tweed Hand Woven Blue Blazer - L

$165

It is more than fair to say that we have been enchanted by this beautiful, blue, woven tweed blazer, which hails from the Donegal county in the Emerald Ilse. We normally see tweeds in rich rusty hues, or soft greens, so this mysterious ocean blue is a delight. Fully lined in an acetate fabric, it is in immaculate vintage condition, and sewn within the lining you can find a patch reading: 

'This tweed was handwoven from pure new wool in my small cottage in county Donegal, Ireland. 

Like my forefathers, I have put something of my own character into this clithm ruggedness to wear well, softness for comfort, colours form our countryside.

Joy and health to you who wear this.'

R. Sweeney, weaver. 

We found this to be incredibly moving and this beautiful garment will stay in our hearts whilst hopefully bringing joy to whoever is lucky enough to snap this up.
