Breton Black and White Striped Sweater

Margaret O'Leary creates supremely soft knitwear rooted in rich Irish heritage with a relaxed California aesthetic. Margaret’s design sensibility is always in step with current runway fashion, but never simply trendy. Her collections transcend fads to marry understated elegance with a relaxed sensibility and the effortless vibe of her adopted home in northern California. After emigrating from Ireland to San Francisco in 1990, Margaret began doing what she knew best – creating hand-loomed knitwear in her tiny apartment. Those designs sold quickly to local boutiques and her distinctive knitwear line soon grew into a full collection. Her designs have been seen on Madonna, Oprah, Lana Del Rey, Miley Cyrus, Jane Fonda, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Hudson. They choose Margaret’s knitwear because they value the sustainable luxury of her creations. With a signature feel that comes from the finest, supremely soft, earth-friendly fibers, including Scottish cashmere, each piece is produced with exceptional care and attention to detail.
