An Scéal jacket
An Scéal - The Story
An Scéal Jacket is hand painted by Artist Ciara Tinney. Co -Designer Edel McAvoy then draws with thread using free motion embroidery, inspired by artwork in the wildkind book, creating a wearable, original artwork, based on the original story.
Designed to Grow:
Our reversible quilted jacket in Irish woven linen is an artisanal handmade piece which has been carefully designed to grow with your child from ages 4 to 10+
Made to be worn for big days, wee days and all the other days in between. It can be passed down to be worn again again and eventually return to the earth where it will biodegrade naturally.
End of roll Irish Linen is carefully sourced in local Mills. By handpicking ‘last of their kind’ fabric we weave the greatest commodity, time, into each garment.
Irish Seed Labels:
Labels are handmade from scratch, starting by making our native Irish seed paper. When planted these labels will grow into native Irish wildflowers and the blue flowers of the linen / flax plant. In turn helping the endangered wild bee’s of Ireland. The labels also feature artwork from the Wildkind book.
We Grow Slow:
10% of our profits go to We Grow Slow helping marginalised & refuge seeking children in the North of Ireland connect to the wild around us, nurturing a sense of place for all children.
Material:
Linen is a natural material made from the flax plant, grown without pesticides and using less water than many other crops. Linen is naturally anti-bacterial and hypoallergenic, and has been known through the ages as a healing cloth. The hollow fibres of linen ensure good thermo regulating properties, so its breathable on a warm day and keeps the heat in when its cold outside. It is stronger than cotton and last’s for years and years, getting softer with age. This jacket is quilted with a natural soy wadding.
Made to Order:
Please allow 2 - 3 weeks for your order to be made.
Notes on care:
Hand wash or machine wash at 30° on a gentle cycle.
Dry Flat / drip dry.
Steam iron or embrace the crease.
More notes on care:
Go outside more. Rest more. Drink more water. Say more “I Love you”s.
