From the brand: For generations, the wives of Island fishermen knitted Aran workwear for their husbands. A hundred years ago, Máire Cáit, a skilled and imaginative knitter, decided her husband’s workwear should look as special as his Sunday Best. Thanks to his wife’s fine craftwork and distinctive patterns, Máirtín Beag became known as a particularly well-dressed man. Inspired by her imagination and skill, the Máirtín Beag Galánta is an elegant and understated Aran Sweater which by now has become an Inis Meáin signature knitwear design.
