DID YOU KNOW? ✨
The colour green hasn’t always been linked with Saint Patrick. Historically, the earliest depictions of the saint show him wearing blue garments. Azure Blue was the traditional color linked to Ireland and in its early heraldry, mythology, and depictions. In times to come, after several instances of Irish rebellions against the British (of which we cannot go into great detail here!), green eventually became associated with Irish nationalism. Even after rebellions were crushed by the British, the idea of wearing shamrocks and the colour green as nationalist symbols persisted.
☘️The significance of the three-leafed shamrock comes from St. Patrick himself. He used the shamrock to describe the three forms of God—the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit—to convert early Irish people to Christianity. While St Patrick’s Day started as a holy day in Ireland, it has grown into a broader celebration of Irish heritage. In the United States, St. Patrick’s Day slowly shifted from a religious observation to a secular celebration of Irish heritage thanks to the influence of Irish immigrants.
We’ve chosen our 1940s two piece suit for this day for its stunning detail- the pin tucks in the suit details reminded us of the veins in shamrock leaves. The colour has a blue hue, which gave a nod to St Patrick’s original garb. Made specially for our collection, the suit features a batwing collar with matching pocket flaps, dainty neck ties with acorn adornments, with a matching self belt and knee length skirt. Truly the most darling details. Additionally, we chose to add red clovers to complement the shamrocks. Known by its other names Trifolium pratense or seamair dhearg, red clover is one of the most common varieties of clover in Ireland.
Wishing you and yours a Happy St Patricks Day!☘️
