What kinds of products and collections does Irish Design Shop offer?

Updated

Irish Design Shop sells design-led Irish craft and gifts across several categories: jewellery, homewares, textiles, books, ceramics, candles, prints and seasonal items. Its own product listings show prices in euro, and the shop describes itself as an award-winning retailer trading both online and from a physical location in Dublin city centre. The range is organised into featured collections — Wee Pets, Books, Textiles, Áras, Araucaria Ceramics and Wellness — alongside a seasonal selection that changes through the year.

Featured collections

The site groups products into these collections, each linking to its own product list:

Collection What it covers
Wee Pets Animal-themed illustrated goods, including an annual calendar
Books Printed titles
Textiles Fabric-based home and personal items
Áras Specially commissioned homewares
Araucaria Ceramics Ceramic pieces
Wellness Self-care and wellbeing-oriented products

"Specially commissioned homewares" is how the shop describes the Áras range — items made for the store rather than bought in from an existing catalogue.

What individual products look like

The featured product listings give a concrete sense of the price range and product types:

  • Wee Pets 2027 Calendar — €30.00. A collaboration with printmaker Jo Pearson of Strangford, designed by Eamonn O'Sullivan of Anchor Studio in Kenmare. Twelve perforated illustrations printed in Dublin, intended to be framed after the year ends.
  • Kerry Woollen Mills Wool Socks — €21.00
  • Wee Pets Print — €40.00
  • Blasta Toasties — €17.00
  • Piotr Zwolinski Ceramic Bird — €29.00
  • Adam Frew Wide Porcelain Bowl — €55.00
  • Saegul Candles The Session Candle — €28.00
  • Saille Baskets Garden Trug — €150.00

Prices run from roughly €17 for small items to €150 for larger handcrafted pieces, so the shop works for low-cost gifts as well as higher-value homeware.

The Names jewellery brand

Names is the shop's in-house jewellery line, launched by Clare and Laura in 2015. Each piece is designed and made by hand in a Dublin workshop. The brand draws on geometry found in the Irish landscape and the coastline, and the individual names come from people who inspired the makers — family members, disruptors, and fellow makers and visual artists. The shop frames the jewellery as something passed down through generations rather than purely decorative.

How to decide if it fits what you need

  • For Irish-made gifts: the product mix is explicitly built around craft from across Ireland, so it suits someone looking for a gift with a stated Irish origin.
  • For a specific budget: check the individual product pages, since the featured items span €17–€150 and the collections contain further listings.
  • For something made to order or commissioned: the Áras collection is the one described as specially commissioned homewares.
  • For browsing by theme rather than product type: start from the featured collections rather than the full catalogue, since Wellness, Books and Textiles cut across materials.

If you want to confirm current stock, sizes or shipping details, those specifics are not covered in the material available here — the product pages themselves are the place to check.
