Urban Aran has been one of the big Irish knitwear success stories of the last few seasons and Christine Murphy’s latest project with the new boutique at Adare Manor hotel positively hums with synchronicity.

Christine was general manager of Mount Juliet when she decided to leave the hospitality industry and study at Limerick School of Art and Design. She received a commission for throws from Adare Manor when the resort reopened with new Irish owners in 2017. This season, they were back to Christine again to commission a cardigan in 100pc merino in bespoke shades of grey, moss green and ice blue, and it is one of the first things you see when you walk into their new boutique.
