These practical & elegant crafts would make the perfect gift while everyone is spending more time at home, or something beautiful for yourself to enjoy using everyday.

Lockdown has led to copious amounts of baking, endless cups of tea, and time gathered around the table with your household, discussing the crazy world we live in right now. One upside is it has led to an appreciation for belongings that have both form and function, as we all try to declutter, choose sustainably and support Irish. Here are some pieces from talented Irish makers that you will treasure with every use.

Arran Street East
