Born and raised in Ireland, based in New York, and on a mission to redefine Irish-inspired clothing.
Irish State of Mind is about exploring what it means to be Irish today - without the leprechauns, tired clichés or versions of Ireland made for someone else. We create original designs rooted in the culture, character and stories that actually resonate with Irish people.
And we do it from New York.
A city shaped by generations of Irish people, New York has always been part of the wider Irish story. For us, it’s more than where we’re based. It’s the backdrop to the brand - a place to explore what Irish identity looks like when it travels, evolves and finds a home somewhere new.
Back in Ireland, that identity is evolving too. From our groundbreaking artists and Oscar-winning actors to our innovators and activists, Irish voices are being heard all over the world. We’ve become a country increasingly confident in who we are, without losing the things that made us Irish in the first place - our uniquely Irish State of Mind.
It’s resilience. It’s community. It’s never taking yourself too seriously. It’s finding the craic even when things aren’t going your way. It’s the belief that life is better when it’s shared with others.
We founded Irish State of Mind to represent all of this.
Every design we create starts with a genuine piece of Irish culture, heritage or identity. Some are serious, some are nostalgic, some are a bit of divilment - but all of them have a story to tell about who we are, how we got here and where we’re headed.
From Ireland, out of New York.
Whether you’re at home, part of the Irish community in New York, somewhere else in the diaspora, or simply someone who connects with the way we see the world, welcome to the Irish State of Mind collective.
