The World's Most Remote Fashion Label | MR PORTER

Established in 1976 by Mr Tarlach de Blácam and his wife Ms Áine Ní Chonghaile, the Inis Meáin Knitting Company has achieved the remarkable feat of transforming a local cottage industry - and in this case, those words are literal - into a fashion label that’s stocked at specialist retailers as far afield as New York and Tokyo. On a tiny island off the west coast of Ireland, Inis Meáin draws on landscape and tradition to create clothing beloved the world over.

Though the island, as something of a world apart, has drawn many creatives to its shores over the past 150 years, from Irish Literary Revival playwright Mr John Millington Synge and contemporary artist Mr Sean Scully to novelist Mr Colm Tóibín and cartographer and local historian Mr Tim Robinson, it’s not exactly the first place you might think to launch a clothing brand. Yet, with a certain amount of incredulity, this is what you will find here.

You can tell that the people behind Mr.Porter actually appreciate high quality products judging by their youtube channel. Absolutely beautiful and very respectable!

Incredible cinematography, great content as always!

This older lady reminds of my grandma back in Poland in the 70s in early 80s. During her spare time, every day for an hour or so she would make for us sweaters, hats, gloves and scarfs for the winter. I believe now that it was her hobby, goodwill and a dedication to the whole family. She's long gone now, but the memories of her still linger around in our heads...

Mr Porter video = Christmas

[@mistern1656]

Thank you for the great video. Beautiful as always.

[@bmcrossland]

Great video Mr. Porter, always appreciate the care taken over the cinematography.

[@adeakin3758]

Mr Porter is the real deal. Every short video made, energize my fashion sense.

[@hmbs1630]

Beautifully shot video. Does justice to an equally beautiful product.

This should have being a great 2 part mini documentary. I would love to seat down and listen to him speak about life,wisdom and isolation.

True craftsmanship. A dying art. Preservation of this art needs to be advocated. Love this brand and what they stand for.

Best content on the internet. Great job!

[@justinmenina8365]

It’s hard not to overstate my excitement when I saw this video pop up in my notification feed. I’ve always loved the aesthetic and quality of Inis Meáin’s sweaters and linen jackets. Another great video as always.

Lovely video and great brand. Waiting for the year-end sale to get one of these lovely sweaters:D

[@jackparrott9225]

This was absolutely gorgeous. I had never heard of the brand before, but now I have an urge to buy a $500 fisherman's sweater. Branded content at it's best, I guess.

[@alaedinebenani5715]

This movie is so meticulously crafted, it amazes me... even 3 years later!

[@roogty]

Grace, peace and beauty.

Good catch taking out the mr porter on top

[@rustyshackleford17]

Still my favorite knitwear company after many years. Very few come close to or exceed them nowadays.

[@Loracanne]

intimately and beautifully shot <3 And it's always nice to show people the craftmanship behind these quality heritage products, lest they jump to complain about price. Really dislike hearing the use of the American word 'sweater' though. They are called 'jumpers' here in Ireland, so 'Aran Jumper' etc.
