We’re honoured to be featured in The Irish Times as The Sweater Shop marks 40 years in business! The special report highlights how our family’s dedication to quality, customer service and traditional Irish knitwear has been at the heart of everything we do since opening in 1986
The Store was set up in 1986 by Dom Byrne and his Sister Breege Ward. From their commitment to being on the shop floor to learning from every customer, to the next generation — Paul, Laura and the wider family — continuing the mission of quality, value and selection, the article reflects our journey and values
We’re proud to support local Irish suppliers and artisans, bringing timeless Aran sweaters and knitwear to customers who value pieces made to last — a philosophy that stands in contrast to fast fashion’s throwaway culture.
The feature also shares how we’ve embraced online customers while keeping that personal, family-business feel, and how our award-winning customer service remains central to who we are.
