Saol is the Irish word for "life," signifying the connection of the individual to society and culture. SAOL channels these themes throughout several lines that seek to provide high-quality garments based on traditional Irish apparel, updated for modern tastes, and perfect for everyday wear.

Every piece is specially washed, dried, and steamed before being treated with an anti-shrink technology that makes it machine washable without the risk of losing proportion. All sections of our garments are hand linked, including the collar, sleeves, and sides, making for a seamless finish.

The knit styles of our collections date to the turn of the 20th century in the remote Aran Islands off the coast of County Galway in the west of Ireland. To this day, the beautiful patterns of honeycomb, cable, and diamond stitches give these sweaters a unique three-dimensional texture that allows air to circulate throughout the garment while providing a crucial insulating layer that keeps cold winds out and warm body heat in.

Though all SAOL sweaters are pre-washed to ensure durability and can be machine washed, we still recommend hand washing with a mild detergent and laying flat to dry after reshaping. This ensures the texture of the pattern will remain as vibrant as the day it arrived.

The meanings of Aran stitches include Cable, signifying fishermen's ropes and the hope for good fortune; Diamond, representing farmers' fields and the promise of wealth; Honeycomb, signaling the diligence of the honeybee and the sweet rewards of labor; Zig-Zag, signifying the rugged cliffs of the Aran Islands and life's ups and downs; Trellis, representing the stone walls of Ireland and signifying community; Blackberry, signifying nature, abundance, and growth; Heart, representing love, compassion, and warmth of body and soul; and Tree of Life, showcasing the endless cycle of life, death, and rebirth.
