Clare O'Connor

Clare O'Connor designs luxurious accessories drawing inspiration from her vibrant energetic abstract paintings. This luxury Irish fashion brand has sustainability to the forefront of her ethos. Her scarves & packaging which completes her product beautifully are statement pieces, which are season-less, collectable, sustainable and in line with the principles of slow fashion, quality pieces that are collectible & that are cherished for years to come.

Her scarves are made with only the finest natural fabrics handcrafted by artisans in Como in Italy using beautiful soft silks, modal an eco-friendly fabric derived from the Beech tree, natural linen, delicate fine wool blends and 100% Bamboo. Her packaging which was shortlisted for an Award is created in Dublin and has beautiful details like the inclusion of a print of a painting on the inside making her boxes something you would like to cherish and keep.

The brand launched in 2018 and since then founder Clare O'Connor has honed and developed her collections, finetuning exquisite unique signature details across all ranges like the use of a luxurious contrast striped hand rolled edge and fray which makes her accessories extremely striking & luxurious. Her large twilly scarves have a contrast reverse stripe inspired by the clashing patterns and stripes in her spirited energetic paintings. Clare’s range of linen/model/silk scarves have the softness of modal and silk but have the beautiful texture of linen. They make gorgeous scarves which can also be worn as beautiful sarongs or wraps. The make for a perfect holiday accessory now that travel is opening up around the world.

In keeping with her commitment to Sustainability, during lockdown Clare began experimenting with 100% Bamboo and after testing different fabrics she launched a selection of 100% Bamboo scarves & cushions. Bamboo is both temperature controlling and moisture wicking. It is vegan friendly, biodegradable, sustainable, antibacterial and eco- friendly. The scarves have a buttery soft texture not unlike silk and they feel divine against your skin. They have a hand rolled striped edge and striped fray which makes them extremely striking and luxurious. Clare won a highly commended Award in the Fashion Category for Best Product 2022 at Showcase Ireland.

This July, Clare is expanding her collections to include shift dresses and tops in 100% Silk & 100% Linen. She will be launching these at Create 2022 in Brown Thomas Dublin.
