Perfect Timeless Gift

7.5 × 8.5 cm

Boo! Meet our rather charming little Ghost. He's been hanging around for a while now, a mischievous little character who's a little spooky, perhaps, but far too sweet to give anyone a proper fright!

This design takes me right back to Halloween in Belfast during the 1980s. Long before online shopping and supermarket costumes, my sister and I would dress up in old bedsheets and bin bags, carefully cutting out holes for our eyes and mouths, and even adding a zigzag hem for a touch of extra finery! Our costumes weren't particularly sophisticated, but we had the most wonderful fun trick-or-treating around the neighbourhood. There's a photograph of me dressed up amongst the product images, if you fancy a little glimpse of those days!

Handmade from beautiful Irish Linen in soft neutral shades of oatmeal and crisp white, with a sprinkling of hand-stitched faux crystals, pearls, glass beads and sequins, gradually becoming more delicate as they rise from the bottom of his little ghostly silhouette. His mouth is softly embroidered in white thread, giving a lovely suggestion of hollowness.

If you're looking for something a little less novelty and a little more chic, hang him amongst autumn branches or let him keep watch over a cosy corner of the house, bringing a little glamour rather than gore to your Halloween décor. And unlike most ghosts, this one is perfectly happy to be seen!

He keeps rather good company too, alongside our Skeleton, Witch's Hat, Gravestone, Broomstick and our classy, classic Pumpkin.

You can also find our little Ghost at the wonderful Irish Design Shop on Drury Street, Dublin, a treasure trove of beautiful work by independent Irish designers and makers.

Contemporary Irish Linen Design

Katie Larmour Linen is an Irish design studio celebrated for refined craftsmanship, thoughtful sustainability and a modern approach to traditional Irish Linen.

Founded by designer-maker Katie Larmour, the studio brings together heritage materials and contemporary design to create pieces that feel both timeless and quietly distinctive.

Katie Larmour

Katie Larmour trained in Applied Art at the University of Ulster, Belfast, graduating in 2006. After eight years working as an art and antiques dealer, she established her design studio in 2014, combining a deep understanding of material culture with a hands-on making practice.

Irish Linen has always been central to her work. Growing up in Northern Ireland, surrounded by the legacy of the linen industry, and with family ties to the Huguenot artisans who helped shape it, linen is both a personal and professional inheritance.

A Material with Meaning

The studio is known for its use of natural, undyed Irish Linen, often in its distinctive oatmeal tone. Sourced from vintage and antique cloth, mill deadstock and studio off-cuts, the linen is chosen for its longevity, integrity and heritage.

Certified by the Irish Linen Guild as a trusted and recommended maker, the brand champions linen as a material worthy of careful design and contemporary relevance.

Festive Craft, Reimagined

Over recent years, Katie Larmour Linen has become particularly known for its beautifully crafted linen decorations, designed to bring warmth, softness and subtle sparkle to seasonal interiors.

Often described as jewellery for the tree, each piece is made using salvaged Irish Linen and intricate beadwork, designed to be treasured, collected and brought out year after year.

These designs are stocked internationally and can be found in cultural institutions, historic houses, museums, luxury hotels and design-led boutiques across Ireland, the UK and beyond.
