Women's Irish Tweed Skirts

Tweed is a traditional fabric that has been used for making clothing for hundreds of years, and there are many good reasons for its widespread popularity. Tweed is a natural fabric, woven from the finest quality wool, and is warm and durable all year round. It also has waterproof properties, so it can offer protection against the elements in a changeable climate. Our collection includes a gorgeous range of tweed caps, jackets and trousers, as well as stunning tweed skirts that create a sleek, sophisticated style.

Tweed was originally used for practical clothing, and it was woven by hand on traditional looms in the rural communities of Ireland and Scotland. It became popular outdoor wear with the upper classes, who saw it as a great choice for hunting and walking in the countryside, and some landowners even commissioned their own, unique patterns to identify those who worked on their estates.

The Mary Kate Tweed Skirt is a classic, pencil skirt design that is perfect for wearing to work or with a soft blouse for a formal occasion. Like many of our designs, this gorgeous skirt is available in natural shades, including Moss Fleck, which is inspired by the beautiful landscapes seen in rural Ireland. Tweed was originally dyed using natural materials, so the muted shades and natural colour options are reminiscent of this tradition.

We love the Ladies Blossom Tweed Skirt, which brings a contemporary twist to a classic country style. The short length and preppy pleats bring Irish tweed right up to date, and the Teflon coated 100% Pure New Wool offers a warm, practical look that can be adapted to wear all year round. The buckled leather tabs are a unique and stylish detail, and this is a great choice for modern workwear or a relaxed event.

At Weavers of Ireland, we have an excellent selection of hats, sweaters, jackets and scarves that showcase the very best of traditional craftsmanship. Our artisan producers take classic styles and add their own stamp to create tweed garments, Aran sweaters and cardigans that look and feel fantastic. We also have a stunning range of jewellery inspired by our Celtic connections here in Ireland, so you can find the perfect accessories for your look in our collection.
