At a glance
Kilkenny Design is a family-run Irish multi-brand retailer and online shop for jewellery, fashion, homeware, art and gifts. Its national business retains a Killarney head office, while the Nassau Street flagship provides a central Dublin shopping option with knitwear and a much wider gift selection.

A national shop and online range
The business traces its roots to the Kilkenny design workshops and works with Irish makers and brands across several categories. It is a curated retailer, rather than an open marketplace. Irish design, manufacture and fibre origin are product-specific; the wider assortment should not be treated as entirely Irish-made wool clothing.
A concrete wool-clothing example
The Heritage Collection George honeycomb full-zip Aran cardigan is described as 100% supersoft wool. That is a specification for this design, not evidence that all Kilkenny clothing is pure wool, merino or made from Irish-grown fibre. Online colour and size choices also do not establish Nassau Street stock.
Visit the Dublin flagship
