Urban Aran

is an independent Irish knitwear brand offering bold, colourful but considered knitwear for modern lifestyles. Founded by Christine Murphy in 2017, the collections are influenced by urban art in all its forms. Her inspiration is drawn from urban art in her home city of Waterford and from ‘tags’ in public spaces to derelict walls magnificently embellished by accomplished street artists. Designed to be cherished, each piece proposes an engaging balance of opposing elements – past and future, masculine and feminine, strength and softness, structure and fluidity.

Each piece is shaped using specific knitting techniques that have been studied and perfected through practice. Christine sources the highest merino entirely made in Italy, embodying best industrial knitwear traditions. Check out her fabulous collection at urbanaran.com
