Carlow County Tartan

Historical Significance

The Carlow County Tartan is a modern design that pays homage to the rich history and cultural heritage of County Carlow, Ireland. Known as "The Dolmen County," Carlow is home to the Brownshill Dolmen, a 6,000-year-old megalithic portal tomb with the largest capstone in Europe, weighing over 100 tonnes. This ancient site is a symbol of the county's deep historical roots. Created by Polly Kitteridge for the House of Edgar in 1997, this tartan reflects the county's natural beauty and historical significance, blending modern aesthetics with traditional elements. The Carlow County Tartan serves as a contemporary symbol of pride for those connected to Carlow, celebrating both its ancient past and its vibrant present.

Color Scheme and Pattern

The tartan is characterized by a deep and rich color palette, predominantly featuring dark green and purple, with black accents. The pattern consists of wide bands of green and purple, intersected by narrower black lines that create a striking contrast, giving the tartan a bold and sophisticated appearance. The dark green represents the lush and verdant landscapes commonly associated with Scotland, while the purple adds a touch of royal elegance. The black lines bring depth and definition to the design, making the overall pattern both visually appealing and traditionally significant. Made from 100% acrylic wool, this tartan fabric ensures durability and comfort.
