About Cleo

Cleo originated in 1936 as a very small retail outlet in a basement in Dublin selling only sweaters from the Aran Islands.

Nowadays Cleo is a thriving, changing and very colourful business. We are located on Kildare Street in Dublin City.

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.
