ringing a fresh new look to a traditional market, Carmel’s attractive tweed and leather garments have been an instant hit with visitors to the factory store. The clothing range includes a wonderful selection of tweed headwear, tweed and leather bags, waistcoats, accessories, tweed ties and even dog coats and picnic blankets. The company concentrates on quality of product and uniqueness of design with a contemporary twist to classic design. Carmel has created a beautiful range of timeless tweed apparel, headwear, leather bags and accessories with the recent addition of a new

range of knitwear for men and women – all ‘handloomed’ in Glencolmcille using the finest pure new wools from Kilcar Yarns in Donegal. Using 100% pure new wools, the tweed is sourced from Ireland, Scotland and England using Donegal, Harris and traditional tweeds from the Outer Hebrides. Still only in its infancy Carnaween Clothing currently employs 8 people at the Malinmore workshop. The range and quality is superb and likely to secure a bright future for Carmel and her team who work tirelessly to secure new markets and bring innovation to timeless classics. www.carnaweenclothing.com
