About Madigan Cashmere

Madigan is a luxury brand that loves and savours the simple & beautiful. Celebrating Irish heritage and craftsmanship, we specialise in bespoke cashmere knitwear that is designed and made in Ireland. Madigan is a family business run by husband and wife Richard and Elaine Madigan. Together they share a deep passion for Irish design, luxury and quality, which has led to their love, their family and the Madigan you experience today. At the tender age of fifteen Richard and Elaine met & fell in love. They married at twenty one and headed off to Australia, before returning home to grow their own businesses & their family. Always needing the creative aspect in her life, Elaine spent a lot of time designing and making clothes for herself and her daughters. When the Madigan family built a house in the countryside of Straffan in Co Kildare, Elaine opened a boutique in the neighbouring town of Naas. It was here she saw a niche for a luxury Irish made cashmere collection. As her talent was in textile, she decided she wanted to know more about the knitwear business...She went back to college and learned what she needed to know. And so Madigan Cashmere was born.Read their story
