Once upon a time there was a Mill in the picturesque village of Avoca, County Wicklow. It was set up in 1723 as a co-operative where farmers could spin and weave their wool. Today, Avoca has grown into one of Ireland’s most loved brands producing signature throws and blankets, using natural yarns like lamb’s wool, cashmere, mohair, and angora.
As well as weaving classic patterns, their design studio creates brand new ideas for throws, blankets, and scarves season by season. To this day, they continue to handweave at the original mill in Avoca village. Avoca now has stores across the country as well as charismatic cafés and food halls and has been ranked as one of the world’s most inspiring stores by Retail Week Magazine.
The Avoca store in Powerscourt House is full of character with original castle walls dating back to the 12th century. We offer the full range of Avoca favourites and gifts including fashion and kids wear, books, soft furnishings, jewellery, aromatics and a scrumptious food hall. Enjoy locally sourced and seasonally cooked produce including the famous Avoca jams, cakes, and home-made breads.
