TheIrish Sweater it's the very warm, cocooning sweater that we wear in winter. Also known as the Aran sweater , it has its origins in Ireland.

This wool sweater was previously known to be the traditional clothing of fishermen. Renowned for keeping warm at sea, each family on the Irish coast had its own geometric print on its sweater (cable, zig-zag, moss stitch etc).

It is very easy to distinguish thanks to its recognizable mesh and its initially ecru color.

A timeless, chic and comfortable fashion piece that we regularly see on the catwalks of Fashion Week.
