This unique take on the classic Aran sweater has become one of our biggest hits! Crafted from 100% soft Merino wool sourced directly from Irish sheep farms, the Aran Patchwork Cardigan is an absolute must have for anyone looking to perfect their fall and winter wardrobes. The honeycomb pattern symbolizes the industrious nature of the honeybee, and the cable pattern brings good luck). Each cardigan’s stitching is divided across the waist and down the front by a rich, textured band that accentuates the frame and helps draw more attention to the unique pattern stitched across the rest of the garment.

The Aran Islands are where these sweaters take their name, first knitted from unscoured wool by fishermen’s wives who relied on the wool’s natural oils to repel rain and moisture to protect their husbands from the harsh Atlantic weather. As years passed, the sweaters became a family staple and since their humble beginnings in the 1890s coastal villages of the Aran Islands, these sweaters have evolved in design, manufacture, and popularity across the globe. In the 1940s, American women began to adopt the Aran sweater as a warm-weather staple after Grace Kelly modeled the sweaters for Vogue in the 1940s. Today they are instantly recognizable as one of Ireland’s most iconic fashion contributions, treasured for their incredible utility and versatile style. While the design and manufacture of the Aran sweater may have changed a bit over the years, we have made sure to only offer products that honor the heritage and tradition of how these treasured garments have been created for over a century.
