Irish Made Awards: The Winners

Discover the winners of the Irish Made Awards 2019, as revealed in our first ever awards ceremony!

The Irish Made Awards is now in its third year, and the inaugural ceremony, in partnership with Kilkenny Shop, took place on Thursday, 26 September at Fallon & Byrne, Dublin.

The Irish Country Magazine team was thrilled to have the opportunity to celebrate the nominees with a Prosecco reception and lunch before revealing the winners in an awards ceremony. Guest speaker and previous Irish Made Awards winner Chupi Sweetman of Chupi Jewellery inspired guests with a speech about the passion of Irish makers, before Editor Klara Heron presented the awards, with plaques designed by Shane Holland Design. Special thanks to our category sponsors: Kilkenny Shop, sponsor of the GIFT, BEAUTY, and JEWELLERY categories; Design and Crafts Council of Ireland, sponsor of the FURNITURE category; Gifted Fair, sponsor of the HOME category; and Market Street, sponsor of the ACCESSORIES category.

Congratulations to all of the winners and runners up in what was the most competitive year yet! See the winners and runners below, and read more about them in our November issue, which will feature all the winners and runners up as well as social shots from the day, in shops on 15 October.
