High above the rugged cliffs of Howth, where the wind meets the sea, WIND SHORE is a sanctuary rooted in the wild beauty of the Irish coast. Hidden among windswept heather and ancient stone, it’s a place where the rhythms of nature and the sea shape every creation. At WIND SHORE, we’re driven by a passion for craft, working with makers and growers we know and trust to bring you the essence of coastal living—timeless, pure, and alive with the spirit of the shore.
Our home by the sea, where the wild Irish coast inspires every piece we curate. A place for dreaming, making, and connecting with nature’s beauty.
"The landscape is nothing short of breathtaking."
Towering cliffs rise above the crashing waves of Dublin Bay, offering views that stretch as far as the Wicklow Mountains.

Howth’s seasons are dramatic, each one shaping the landscape in its own way.
Spring brings wildflowers and forest ferns, while summer fills the air with the sweet scent of honeysuckle. Autumn reveals the sea’s bounty, and in winter, the air is crisp with the bracing scent of salt carried on the wind from the sea. These changing landscapes have inspired the ingredients and philosophy behind Wind Shore, capturing the essence of each season in everything we do.
My family’s roots here run deep.
My grandparents on my mother’s side, both artists, ran a gallery from Barrenhill House on the hill of Howth, sharing their love of art with the world. On my father’s side, my grandfather owned a grocer’s shop on Dorset Street in Dublin, where he bottled Guinness with our family name and imported produce that was ahead of its time. These family stories, passed down through generations, are part of Wind Shore's foundation - a brand which celebrates the intersection of art, history, and the natural world.
Wind Shore is the manifestation of all these elements. It’s the embodiment of my family’s legacy, Howth’s natural beauty, and the traditions that have shaped my life. I’m incredibly proud to bring this brand to life and share it with you.
We are inspired by the beauty of nature and the joy of creating something meaningful with our hands. Every product comes from our love for the Irish coast and the magic of creating things that feel personal and timeless. This is a journey we’re excited to share with you.
