Miss She’s Got Knits x AVOCA x Galway Wool Co-op at Ireland Fashion Week
Celebrating Irish Roots with Heritage Wool at Slane Castle

Miss She’s Got Knits is proud to announce a special collaboration with iconic Irish brand AVOCA and the Galway Wool Co-op, unveiled at Ireland Fashion Week during the Irish Roots show at Slane Castle on Thursday, October 9th.

Designed and hand-knit by Karen Birney, founder of Miss She’s Got Knits, the piece was created for AVOCA using 100% Galway Wool, celebrating the rich textile heritage of the West of Ireland. 

“This piece is more than fashion,” says Karen, founder of Miss She’s Got Knits, “it’s a story of place, heritage, and craftsmanship. Tor me the collaboration represents a proud intersection of sustainable Irish textiles, traditional handcraft, and contemporary design, it was such a pleasure and a privilege to use Galway Wool for this piece.”

The collaboration brings together three passionate advocates of Irish craft: Miss She’s Got Knits, known for its hand-crafted knitwear, playful use of texture and colour and commitment to slow fashion; AVOCA, a cornerstone of the country's textile heritage and home to Ireland’s oldest working woollen mill; and the Galway Wool Co-op, a collective dedicated to revitalising the use of local wool in modern design.

Presented against the historic backdrop of Slane Castle, the garment stood as a testament to Irish heritage, artistry, and innovation.
