Recycled Irish Linen

Handmade & Unique

Perfect Timeless Gift

Description

8 × 8 cm

One of my very first hanging decoration designs, our Shamrock was introduced back in 2019, when the entire collection consisted of just twelve little pieces. It has since become our bestseller, a timeless symbol of Ireland and one that felt only natural to recreate in beautiful Irish Linen.

The name ‘shamrock’ comes from the Irish word for ‘young clover’. I'm often asked what the difference is between a shamrock and a clover, and the answer is rather lovely: a shamrock is a clover, but not all clovers are shamrocks! And for those who prefer a little extra luck, we also have our Four-Leaf Clover decoration!

With its delicate hand-stitched embellishments and softly textured linen, our Shamrock brings a little understated Irish charm to the Christmas tree, but is equally lovely displayed throughout the year. A little piece of Ireland to treasure, whether at home or far away.

Our ‘Recycled Natural’ colourway is made from an assortment of fine, apparel-weight Irish Linens, each in the beautiful, natural undyed shade of the flax plant itself. Subtle variations in weave and texture give each Shamrock its own individual character.

Over the years, the embellishment has been refined into a daintier beading style, with some of the beads themselves reclaimed and given a new lease of life. The earlier version, with its solid line of silver sequins, has now been retired from the collection. Our newer coloured Shamrocks also feature additional gold metallic embroidery filling the stem, adding a little extra richness and shimmer to the design. Our Recycled Natural Shamrocks retain the original stem without this gold fill.

And a little Irish blessing to accompany your Shamrock...

“May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow. And may trouble avoid you wherever you go.”

Please note – The velvet bow shown in our styled photography is for decorative purposes only and is not included with the Shamrock.

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.
