Long-standing Fabworks aficionados, and those who follow high quality lifestyle brands, may well recognise the name Avoca. Located in County Wicklow, Avoca boasts the oldest weaving mill in Ireland, with 300 years of creative expertise in woollen fabric manufacture, which has become the brand’s flagship product, oozing quality, history and heritage. Nowadays, the Avoca brand also has concessions selling ceramics, home fragrances and fashion, however it is most famous for its immaculate quality wool, cashmere and mohair textiles, in vibrant and colour-rich designs that retail for eye-watering sums.
Fabworks’ association with Avoca began in 2011, when Fabworks Mill Shop was only a fraction of what it is today, and way before Fabworks Online existed. We were approached by Avoca with an offer to buy their surplus fabric from the previous seasons' collections. What an opportunity! A deal was struck, and what arrived at our warehouse a few weeks later was the most amazing selection of Irish-made pure wool fabrics, plus all the accessorising elements within the Avoca ladieswear collection (elaborate trimmings, gorgeous embroidered silks, lightweight satins, Liberty jerseys) and the cherry on top of the cake – Irish-made Donegal Tweed!
