Your Guide to Irish Cashmere: Tradition Meets Modern Luxury
The Allure of Irish Cashmere
Irish cashmere stands out as a true expression of luxury. Soft, elegant and made to last, cashmere brings warmth, comfort and confidence to your wardrobe.
For many years, textile traditions in Ireland have been celebrated, and earned their rightful reputation for knitwear that offers quality and unrivalled craftsmanship. At Laura Chambers, these values are woven into every piece – where traditional techniques meet a refined, modern aesthetic, resulting in thoughtful collections designed to elevate the everyday, with pieces you’ll treasure for years to come.
Why Is Cashmere So Coveted?
Cashmere is one of the world’s most luxurious fibres – and for good reason. Collected from the undercoat of cashmere goats, it is finer, softer, and warmer than regular wool. But it’s not just its softness that makes it so special. Cashmere clothing can offer a gentle drape with beautiful movements whilst being able to hold its shape and feel feather-light.
Wearing cashmere in Ireland is often a great wardrobe choice because of the temperate climate. Cashmere offers breathability and warmth during the winter months but remains light and cool for summer evenings. Cashmere is a material that offers true versatility and elegance.
Irish Knitwear: A Heritage of Craft
There is a rich history in Ireland of working with natural fibres. From handwoven tweeds to the iconic Aran knitwear, Irish textiles offer both functionality and beauty. Today, contemporary Irish designers are continuing this legacy – and elevating it with stunning materials and minimalist styling.
At Laura Chambers, our collection reimagines Irish knitwear for modern life: clean lines, flattering silhouettes, and colours inspired by Ireland’s shifting skies and coastal landscapes. Every piece offers a balance between tradition, elegance and functionality. Our cashmere comes from Todd & Duncan and is hand-loomed in Dublin.
Subtle Luxury, Designed in Ireland
Luxury does not need to shout. The beauty of Laura Chambers’ approach is in the detail – the way a funnel neck frames the face, how a V-neck sweater layers effortlessly over silk, or the soft drape of a scarf worn loose over the shoulders.
Our collection offers understated indulgence, and an ease to feeling confident in what you wear everyday. Among our collection, our most loved designs include:
The Jess Funnel Neck Sweater – A relaxed cut with a structured neckline, perfect for crisp autumn mornings or layered under a coat for added texture.
The Demi Deep V Sweater – A beautifully balanced knit that flatters the neckline and works effortlessly from day to evening.
Cashmere Wrap Cardigans – Versatile, warm and timeless, these are ideal for work, weekends or winding down in style.
The Statement Cashmere Scarf – Available in a curated selection of colours, this is a piece that elevates every outfit.
Each piece in our collection is designed and crafted in Ireland, using the highest quality Scottish cashmere. Our cashmere is carefully chosen for its long-lasting softness and comfort.
Investing in Quality Irish Cashmere That Lasts
When you choose to invest in a cashmere piece, you are choosing not just how your garment will look, but how it wears after time. A well-made cashmere piece (when cared for) can last for years. It will soften over time but will maintain its shape and elegance.
Laura Chambers’ pieces are designed to be part of your story – garments that accompany you through seasons and stages of life, and which never lose their quiet appeal.
Styling Irish Cashmere Through the Seasons
One of the best features of cashmere clothing is that you are able to wear it all year long.
Spring – Drape a wrap cardigan over a floral dress, or pair a lightweight V-neck with tailored trousers.
Summer – A statement scarf or sleeveless cashmere layer adds just enough warmth on cooler evenings.
Autumn – Embrace rich tones and cosy knits like the Jess Funnel Neck to soften the transition into colder days.
Winter – Layer your cashmere with heavier textures – wool coats, leather boots, and cashmere scarves to complete the look.
Cashmere can be dressed up or down depending on your occasion, so whether you are rushing out of the door to work, or you have an outside dinner in the autumn time, your cashmere clothing is a versatile statement.
Irish Cashmere is a Sustainable Choice
Fast fashion seems to be at the forefront of mainstream media. Clothes are purchased for very little and last for an even shorter amount of time. Purchasing cashmere is a conscious choice that will ensure your carefully curated wardrobe is a sustainable choice that lasts. Choosing Irish cashmere isn’t just about luxury – it’s about investing in slow fashion, supporting Irish design, and reducing the impact of overconsumption.
Each of our pieces are made in smaller quantities so we can ensure high quality and minimal waste. Our commitment to longevity and responsible production means you can feel good about every purchase – knowing that it’s been designed with care, crafted with intention, and made to last.
