Aoibhe Harney

“At the Precipice” is a new womenswear collection inspired by the rugged cliffs and eroded landscape of Ireland’s vast coastline.

A soft sea-spray palette of muted greys and deep indigo brings a fresh approach to elevated denim, designed for the environmentally conscious woman who values quality fabrics and celebrates Irish design.

All fabrics are 100% natural fibres: cotton, locally sourced Irish báinín wool, silk organza, and chiffon ensure non-toxic biodegradability and minimal impact on soil and marine life.

Fitted silhouettes, asymmetric features, and “eroded” frayed fabrics have been inspired by strong women of Ireland’s past, from the legendary pirate queen of Clare Island, Granuaile, to Ireland’s first international fashion designer, Sybil Connolly.

Clew Bay-inspired appliqué, eco-friendly rust hand-dyeing, and a reimagining of Connolly’s iconic pleating techniques make this an elegant yet highly wearable wardrobe for a customer who loves heritage textiles with contemporary style.
