Ireland
Strong tea, good talk and county pride. Designs for Ireland, and for the millions around the world who call it home without living there.
A home for people everywhere
Few countries have a diaspora like Ireland's. Generations of emigration mean that people all over the world feel a connection to Ireland, some who left recently and many whose families left long ago. For all of them, Ireland is home in a real and personal way.
That makes Ireland a natural fit for Ceylon Trends, which is built on the idea that people can belong to more than one place.
County pride
Ask Irish people where they are from and you will often hear a county before you hear a town. County loyalty is strong, friendly and deeply felt, and it travels with people when they move abroad.
What people miss
The things people miss are often simple: a proper cup of tea, the conversation, the humour, the landscape and the feeling of walking into a room where people know you.
What we design here
Designs for Ireland start with counties, towns and everyday expressions. Everything is original, with no official emblems, sports crests or borrowed marks.
