Over time, Inis Meáin knits have gained real recognition and are distributed in the most selective high-end brands around the world.
The Aran Islands, in the west of Ireland, are known for their unspoilt coastlines and rugged beauty.
It was on one of these islands, Inis Meáin (pronounced “Inich Mann”), that the eponymous brand specializing in knitwear was founded in 1976 , under the leadership of Tarlach de Blácam.
Originally, the brand was created to allow the inhabitants of the island, one of the last bastions of Gaelic culture, to maintain their old-fashioned way of life and to export their unique know-how in terms of mesh.
In contrast to fast fashion, the brand has from the start focused on exceptional products, creating unique knits in merino wool, and several pieces in linen for summer.
