McNutt

What makes these tactile textiles even more warming is McNutts commitment to the environment, and their recent ‘Why Linen’ campaign, which shed light on the unsustainability of cotton verses the production of flax which forms linen, that uses a mere 3% of the water consumption that cotton uses.

A windswept village in Donegal was the birthplace of this Irish brand, back in 1953. An area of wild and rugged beauty where white-sand beaches butt up against endless green mountains became a source of inspiration to McNutt’s who continues to honour the weaving traditions of yore, with a healthy respect for the now – absorbing Scandi aesthetics into their colourways and becoming an international brand sought by luxe-seeking individuals and in-the-know interior designers.

By steadfastly keeping to their heritage, Mcnutts have never compromised on the quality of the weave or the material and 2020 sees them increasing their collection with the  addition of linen bath towels, reversable throws and lightweight ‘Paris’ scarfs, ideal for springtime. In-house designers are constantly challenging themselves with new ideas, with the rugged backgrounds of the Wild Atlantic Way always a source of inspiration. Find them online or in their gorgeous shop in Donegal, perhaps as part of an exploration of this wildly beautiful area of the world.
