Celtic Tweed Tour Experience – Step into the Heart of Irish Craftsmanship
Discover the Rich Heritage of Balbriggan: The Celtic Tweed Tour is an invitation to immerse yourself in the heart of Balbriggan, a town rich in the tradition of Irish textile craftsmanship. Guided by our passionate storytellers, you'll walk in the footsteps of master tailors and weavers whose artistry once earned a Royal Warrant from Queen Victoria, forever linking our town to the legacy of fine clothing-making. This is more than just a tour—it’s a living journey through Irish history, time-honoured craftsmanship, and a commitment to mindful, sustainable fashion.
Experience Irish Craftsmanship First-Hand
As you step through the doors of our atelier, the scent of wool and the gentle clatter of sewing machines will greet you. This sensory symphony echoes Balbriggan’s legacy of textile artistry, woven through generations since the 1830s.Our town has long been known for its expert tailoring and weaving, and Celtic Tweed continues to uphold that proud tradition today.
The Celtic Tweed Tour is more than just seeing how clothing is made—it's about understanding the passion, precision, and heritage that go into each piece. From the cutting table to the final stitch, you will witness the creation of clothing that is as enduring as the land they come from. Each piece is shaped by hand with purpose and pride, infused with the quiet devotion of artisans who live and breathe their craft.
See How It’s Made – Witness the Process of Creation
The Celtic Tweed Tour offers a unique behind-the-scenes look at our active production space. Watch our artisans breathe life into every piece, blending timeless techniques with contemporary design, all rooted in sustainable values.
During the tour, you'll experience:
Fabrics and Design: Learn about the tweed and Irish linen fabrics that form the foundation of our creations.
Cutting, Sewing, and Fitting: Witness each stage of clothing creation, from the initial design to the final stitch.
Sustainable Practices: Understand the impact of the fashion industry on the environment and see how Celtic Tweed is contributing to a circular economy by embracing slow fashion.
This is a hands-on, interactive experience that offers a deeper understanding of the art of Irish tailoring and the importance of sustainable fashion practices.
Behind The Seams – Meet the Artisans Who Craft Your Clothes
The Celtic Tweed Tour is not only about the process—it’s about the people behind the pieces. Our artisans, who have dedicated decades to perfecting their craft, will guide you through every step of the creation process. From the cutting table to the final fitting, they will share their knowledge and stories, giving you a deeper appreciation for the art of Irish tailoring.
You’ll also have the chance to meet our tailors—the hands behind every piece of clothing. These artisans are the living legacy of Irish tailoring—custodians of a craft passed down through generations, creating timeless pieces that honour our heritage.
