Happy St. Patrick’s Day! The Aran story is firmly one of the centerpieces of today’s fashion. I was rummaging through some old photos, and I dug out this old photo of myself and Matt Doolin back-set in the first years of the Irish Show on QVC! Myself, and all here at Aran Crafts, are glad to be part of this community for so long. How the years have flown!
One of the most common questions I get when travelling over for QVC shows is, ‘Where do you get your inspiration from for Aran Craft?’
My answer is simply ‘Nature.’ Outside of designing fabrics and sweaters, I am a keen mountaineer and enjoy climbing and visiting remote places. I have travelled to some of the most remote and highest peaks in the USA and Canada, and I appreciate how beautiful, remote and kind Mother Nature has been to the continental United States.
It is very easy to gain inspiration when visiting some of the most remote and beautiful places in the modern world! Below is a glorious sunset over Donegal Bay, which I took when, visiting the area this year!
