Brown Owl

This little fella was originally created for our Harrods 2025 collection and their ‘Curious Creatures’ theme, and was available exclusively from Harrods, including at their iconic Knightsbridge flagship store. Now, at last, I can offer him to our own customers too.

Made from beautiful Irish Linen in a soft, muted brown, and brought to life with intricate hand-stitched embellishments. I don’t often use mottled fabrics, but this particular deadstock chambray perfectly captured the owl’s wispy, feathery appearance. He is rather sweet, don’t you think? Definitely lovable.

Our Owl was originally inspired by a wonderfully fluffy specimen I spotted hanging out on the top floor of the Ulster Museum, overlooking Friar’s Bush Graveyard — giving him a suitably spooky little setting! A little extra inspiration came from meeting some extraordinary real-life owls at the Irish National Heritage Park in County Wexford, whilst visiting retailers in the area and a favourite linen mill.

With his warm, old-world colouring, I’ve lovingly named this one our ‘Parlour Owl’ — I like to imagine him quietly at home amongst Victorian furnishings, dusty old paintings and curious collected treasures.

And our little Owl family is beginning to grow — look out for ‘Twilight Owl’, coming in snow-white, twinkling Irish Linen.

Luxury artisan ornaments created from a source of recycled, sustainable Irish Linen. We use a mixture of vintage, local mill deadstock rolls from one of the last remaining linen mills still active in Ireland today, repurposed antique tablecloths, and off cuts from our own cushion making.
