Perfect Timeless Gift

A little tropical escapism for your Christmas tree!

Our Palm Tree decoration brings a touch of sunshine and faraway shores to the collection. Not your traditional Christmas motif, perhaps, but with our decorations finding their way to gift shops as far afield as Hawaii, Australia and Malta, we think there's plenty of room for something a little more exotic!

This little Palm Tree was inspired by a wonderfully glamorous vintage Cartier carré (the French word for a square silk scarf), featuring gilded palm trees, bejewelled sea turtles, parrots, tropical fish and pineapples.

Having spent over a decade creating very unique luxury cushions from vintage designer silk scarves, with Irish Linen on the reverse, of course, I've fallen in love with some extraordinary prints along the way. This particular Cartier design has always been a favourite, so much so that I sold cushions made from the same print on five separate occasions to an interior designer in Palm Beach, Florida. Always a difficult silk to find, particularly in pristine, boxed condition. Its colourful, jewel-like details fascinated me, and years later became the inspiration for our Palm Tree and Sea Turtle decorations.

Handmade from beautiful Irish Linen, with intricate hand-stitched metallic embellishments, it's a little reminder of sun-drenched holidays, swaying palms and dreamy destinations.

Pairs rather beautifully with our Sea Turtle, Shell, Ship-in-a-Bottle, Rum Barrell, Pineapple, Treasure Map and Helm decorations, together creating a lovely little story of tropical shores and nautical adventures.

Our Irish Linen

Our luxury artisan decorations are handcrafted from beautiful Irish Linen, thoughtfully sourced from a mixture of vintage fabrics, local mill deadstock, repurposed antique tablecloths and offcuts from our own cushion making. We also work with a small number of wonderful Irish linen mills, including one of the last remaining linen mills still active in Ireland today, carefully selecting fabrics for their colour, texture and character.

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.
