Our capes, wraps and ponchos are carefully made by artisan craftspeople in Ireland, made from the finest materials using traditional techniques. A cape or wrap is the perfect solution for a walk or a special occasion, giving you the versatility to style up your look and to keep the chills away whenever the weather cools. It is ideal for wrapping up warm in winter and for adapting to the elements in the summer, giving you a great way to layer up in the early mornings and in the evenings when the sun goes down.
At Weavers of Ireland, we aim to share traditional Irish skills with the world and our wraps and capes are knitted and woven using techniques that have been passed down through the generations. At Branigan Weavers, where some of our beautiful capes and scarves are created, the looms are more than two hundred years old, and every piece is finished by hand. The stunning knitted ponchos from Aran Sweater Company feature traditional Aran stitches that have been used to make Aran sweaters for many years and there is a story in every stitch.
The Lambswool Celtic Ruana Wrap is a unique design that has become a firm favourite for us at Weavers of Ireland, and choosing just one of the gorgeous colour options is challenging. The teal shades echo the colours of the sea to create a dreamy style and we can’t get enough of the autumnal gold, with rust shades and muted oranges coming together for a truly special effect.
Although you may not think that wool is a good choice for the summer, it works well because it can help you to regulate your temperature. Wool is a natural, breathable fibre that helps to wick away sweat and keeps you cooler when the sun is shining. It’s also an excellent insulator, trapping air between the layers to keep you warm when it’s cold outside, and its water repellent so it will protect you from showers. The Cable Aran Wrap is a great option all year round and we love the natural ‘bainin’ colour of the wool.
Our collection of capes, wraps and ponchos gives you versatile, stylish options for wearing every day, whether you are looking for a soft poncho made from Merino wool or a dramatic full-length wrap to add warmth and personality to your outfit. Explore our full range today.
