Hello.
This is Nukui from andPheb.
Today, I would like to introduce the winter staple at andPheb, [Aran Crafts], which has arrived again this year.
It is traditional Irish knitwear, and its reasonable price is just as much a reason for its popularity as its high quality.
While everyone is being swallowed by the wave of rising prices, there is no price increase this year!!
At the same price as before...
I don't know what will happen from next year onwards, so get yours while you can...
Well, let's start with an introduction to the brand.
Aran Crafts is a knitwear manufacturer founded by Molly Cullen in 1957 in County Kildare, in the east of Ireland.
Coming from a family of artisans who had been involved in knitwear production since 1856, they continue to pass on the long-inherited Irish knit culture to the present day.
They have now grown into one of Ireland's leading knit manufacturers, continuing to produce traditional knitwear.
When you think of Aran Crafts, you think of the fisherman sweater.
It is a traditional knit said to have originated in the Aran Islands of Ireland, characterized by a combination of various knitting patterns such as three-dimensional cables and honeycombs.
Originally, it was cold-weather clothing for fishermen working in the harsh sea.
The knitting patterns are imbued with wishes for the safety of the fishermen, a good catch, and the happiness of their families.
With that background, it is an authentic Irish wool knit that is easy to incorporate into daily wear at an affordable price.
It has become an indispensable brand for winter at andPheb!
We are introducing a total of 6 models, including the classic Aran sweater, rib-knit, turtleneck, and full-zip cardigan.
Please find your favorite one!!
Aran Crafts Ireland
Aran Sweater Fisherman Sweater Irish Aran Crew Neck
(ACI-C1347)
¥16,500 (tax included)
COLOR: Denim / Oatmeal / Natural / Charcoal / Black Watch / Natural Fleck / Moss
SIZE: M / L / XL
An orthodox crew-neck sweater that represents Aran Crafts.
The body combines traditional Irish Aran stitches.
The honeycomb pattern, which is considered a symbol of hard workers, and the diamond pattern, which signifies wealth and good luck.
The combination of three-dimensional knitting patterns creates an accent.
The material is 100% wool.
The rustic texture of the wool itself, solid warmth, and tough quality are its charms.
The neck is a thick rib specification.
Ribs are also placed on the sleeves and hem, tightening the look in key areas amidst the loose size feel.
It is a classic model that I would recommend for American casual styles with denim or chinos.
There is a wide variety of sizes and colors, so it is fun to choose.
If you like it, buying multiple colors is also an option.
Aran Crafts Ireland
Rib Knit Fisherman Sweater Crew Neck
(ACI-C761)
¥19,800 (tax included)
COLOR: Moss / Charcoal / Navy / Oatmeal
SIZE: M / L / XL
A crew-neck sweater that expresses traditional rib knitting in a large pattern.
It features more volume in the stitches than general rib knits and a distinct uneven expression.
Unlike decorative knitting patterns like the Aran pattern, this is a piece where you can enjoy the three-dimensional effect and weight of the knit fabric itself.
The adoption of raglan sleeves, which provides room in the body width and around the arms, is also a nice point.
It has a heavy look and is a rustic and powerful fisherman knit that is different from the Aran pattern.
Aran Crafts Ireland
Turtleneck Aran Sweater Merino Wool Fisherman Roll Neck Irish
(ACI-R1949)
¥22,000 (tax included)
COLOR: Natural / Charcoal
SIZE: M / L
A model that turns the Aran sweater into a roll neck.
The body combines traditional honeycomb and rope patterns.
The honeycomb pattern expresses the diligence of fishermen working at sea, and the rope pattern expresses strength.
The roll neck, which covers up to the neck, has excellent cold protection and is a reliable presence in winter.
Using merino wool, which is characterized by its smooth texture, this is a piece where you can enjoy a soft wearing comfort while enjoying the three-dimensional knitting pattern.
The neck part is a stretchy rib knit.
The sleeves and hem are also switched to ribs, tightening the loose silhouette moderately.
It has a presence even when worn alone, and it also plays an active role as an inner layer for a coat.
Aran Crafts Ireland
Rib Knit Turtleneck Submariner Roll Neck Sweater Rib Turtle
(ACI-R761)
¥19,800 (tax included)
COLOR: Navy
SIZE: M
A roll neck model that uses the same knit fabric as the rib-knit crew neck.
The ribs, knitted with a larger pattern than usual, have distinct unevenness and a thick, heavy finish.
The powerful atmosphere typical of a fisherman sweater is its charm.
The neck is a roll neck specification that is worn folded over.
It covers the neck area firmly, so it is reassuring even in the cold season.
It goes perfectly with rugged items such as denim and military pants.
It is a piece with presence that I want to insert into winter styling.
Aran Crafts Ireland
Full Zip Cardigan Aran Knit Driver's Knit Sweater
FULL ZIP CARDIGAN SWEATER
(ACI-XP3016)
¥24,200 (tax included)
COLOR: Charcoal / Oatmeal
SIZE: M / L
A model that incorporates Aran knitting into a full-zip cardigan.
It features three-dimensional knitting patterns typical of Aran Crafts, such as cable patterns and honeycomb patterns, all over.
The deep expression created by the nepped yarn and the rustic, chunky wool typical of British wool are also features.
The neck is a low stand-up collar.
The front features a full-zip design with patch pockets at the waist.
You can wear it zipped up, or open it up and wear it like a cardigan.
Since it is a thick, substantial knit, it is also attractive because it can be used like outerwear!
It is a very versatile piece.
Aran Crafts Ireland
Donegal CURL NECK SWEATER
(ACI-K4594)
¥24,200 (tax included)
COLOR：Navy / Forest-Green
SIZE： M
Finally, the Donegal CURL NECK SWEATER, which has a slightly different look among the 6 models.
The material is 100% wool from the Donegal region of Ireland.
It features a mixed-color yarn with various colored neps blended in.
Unlike solid-colored knits, fine grains of color are scattered throughout, creating a deep, textured look.
The design features a curl neck specification where the neck, cuffs, and hem are rolled with a different knit pattern.
The curling, which is different from sweaters with standard ribbed cuffs, serves as an accent.
A piece where you can enjoy both the texture of the material and the details.
Every model has its own unique appeal!
These are traditional sweaters that I want you to choose based on your preferences and the items you pair them with.
If you are hesitant, the price, which might allow you to get more than one, should give you a push. I hope (laughs).
Also, since they all have basic designs, another point is that you can wear them for a long time without them going out of style.
Add authentic Irish-made wool knit to your daily wardrobe.
Please check them out in-store or at our online shop!!
See you later.
