Collection: 🇮🇪 FOXFORD

Over a century ago, Mother Agnes, the founder of our mill, stood on a bridge in the small Irish village of Foxford and contemplated a future with community and craftsmanship at its core. Over one hundred and thirty years later, the people of Foxford are the beating heart of our mill. From design to warp to loom, the stories that make up our present are woven through our past.

FOXFORD is situated in the picturesque small town of Foxford, County Mayo which is nestled alongside the majestic flow of the mighty River Moy and the magnificent peaks of the Ox and Nephin Mountains.

The business flourished, and even a savage fire in 1907 wasn’t enough to throw the business off course. 220 people were employed over the first 90 years in the Mill, creating rugs and woven cloth. At one point in our history, the fabric for every Garda uniform in the state rolled off the looms here at the Foxford Mill.

Nowadays, this mill that was once a much-needed lifeline to many local people has become much more than just a manufacturer. It is now a lifestyle brand, with an innovative FOXFORD shopping and cafe experience. Our historical element still weaves through our daily activities. The building itself is a tangible museum.
