Studio Donegal Promo Codes May 2025 - 20% OFF

Studio Donegal watch the traditional hand-woven crafts as part of the intangible cultural heritage of the area. Losing a native craft loses part of their history, their culture, their connection with the past. They are keen to retain their hand-knitting skills. This is the only way they produce all the tweed. Studio Donegal was originally an idealistic project aimed at preserving the tradition of hand-knitting. In the 1960s, the Irish tweed industry introduced machine weaving, and hand weaving quickly declined. At first, Kevin Donaghy served as a manager, and later acquired the business from the parent company Connemara Fabrics. It has been passed on to the second generation of the Donaghy family. Tristan and his wife Annie now run the business, adhering to the original dream of protecting traditional crafts.
