Cleo originally began in 1936 as a very small retail outlet in Dublin, selling only hadnknit sweaters from the Aran Islands. Nowadays, Cleo is a thriving and very colourful business. We are located on Kildare Street in Dublin City around the corner from The Shelbourne Hotel.
We specialise in Irish clothing made from natural fibres. We sell handknit sweaters in a variety of styles and colour for men, women and children as well as coats, capes, linen blouses and shirts, hats, bags, socks, tweed mice and a whole lot more. Many people have termed a lot of our clothing “Wearable Art” as we have some incredible clothing made by artisans and craftspeople living in Ireland.
Established by the late Kay Ryan, her daughter Kitty and grand daughters Helen and Sarah, it’s been a fun-filled journey from that day to this. We welcome you to climb aboard and have some fun too. We hope you enjoy the website now and come back for more visits in the future.
Should you visit Dublin – do call – open 6 days – closed Sundays.
