MICHAEL C O L L I N S

In July 1922, a specially commissioned FOXFORD travel blanket was presented to General Michael Collins to mark his appointment to Commander in chief of the newly established Irish Army In August of the same year, his armoured car was ambushed at Béal Na Bláth and he was killed The blanket, which had been in the car with him, was recovered at Shanakiel Hospital by Nurse Nora O’Donaghue and later donated to the National Museum We are proud to have reproduced this historic throw in conjunction with Michael Collins House, Clonakilty, County Cork Woven in our traditional FOXFORD check, using a vintage 4 ply yarn in olive, gold and white, this warm, durable throw features a bespoke Michael Collins House label and is finished with a traditional roll fringe €170

This beautiful gift was designed with sustainability in mind. We used leftover yarn from our world famous Michael Collins throw and mounted it within a handmade wooden frame along with the story of the Michael Collins throw, which was first produced in 1922. This would make the ideal gift for those who would like a little piece of the Michael Collins throw story or even to complement the Michael Collins Throw itself

Product is 100% recyclable including gift wrap Made in County Meath, Ireland €39 95
