This is the last part of our report from the trip to Donegal, Ireland - a visit to the Magee weaving mill. Many fabrics from our FW2024 collection come from here; it’s the reason we traveled to Donegal. Today, we would like to take you on a journey through the history and the intricacies of fabric production. Ready?

We did a feature on Donegal Tweed a few years back - actually, I wrote it myself. At the time, I was pretty satisfied with how it turned out. However, I couldn’t have imagined that one day I would get the chance to visit Donegal, immerse myself in the experience and not only gain a deeper understanding of the technical process behind the fabric, but also get a broader perspective on the industry and the story behind it.

Donegal is an interesting place – far more so than just being known as the northernmost county in Ireland, with three times as many sheep as people.

We would definitely say that place is somewhere in Central Europe - and if we were to be more specific, this fall and winter it would be here, in Katowice, Poland.

We probably can’t say we prefer the autumn/winter season over the spring/summer one... but that’s kind of true. Even though the days are getting shorter and the temperatures are dropping, it’s great to feel cosy in sturdy tweeds, fuzzy flannels, plush Shetlands, and many other wonderful fabrics. We come prepared - we have all of these, ready to dress up and layer up!
