Rich purple-wine Donegal herringbone tweed with subtle blue-grey and lighter flecks. Handmade in our family workshop in County Kerry from 100% pure new wool, this unisex cape wrap is available with or without a hood. Wear it loose or wrap it around your shoulders. USA and Canada: duties and taxes prepaid, with tracked UPS delivery.
The colour is a rich plum-purple with wine tones. Brighter purple and darker charcoal-violet yarns form the herringbone pattern, with small blue-grey and lighter flecks scattered through the weave. It looks lovely with black, grey, navy, cream or denim. The close-up photograph shows the yarn and weave; the shade can appear brighter or deeper in different light.
This is mediumweight tweed: warm enough for cool days, with a relaxed drape that makes it comfortable to layer over a jumper, shirt or dress. The open sides give you room to move and make the fit more forgiving than a fitted coat. It is a unisex wrap, available with a hood or without one.
Wear it open, bring one side across your shoulder, or wrap it around you and secure it with the included heavy-duty antique-bronze safety pin. You can also wear it with your own belt. The pin is practical for fastening; the precise pin shown in a photograph may differ from the one supplied.
THE OPEN-FRONT SHAPE
This cape has a ruana cut: a generous rectangular wrap with an open front and open sides. It gives you the easy coverage of a poncho-style layer without having to pull it over your head. Leave it loose or wrap one side across your shoulder; the hooded version creates a short, cloak-like silhouette. Choose with or without a hood before ordering.
PURE NEW WOOL
The fabric is 100% pure new wool Donegal tweed, woven in Ireland. Pure new wool means new wool fibres, rather than wool reclaimed from previously used textiles. There is no synthetic fibre blend.
Wool's natural crimp holds pockets of insulating air, so it does not have to be thick and heavy to give warmth. It is breathable, helps manage moisture vapour and has natural resilience, helping the cloth recover from ordinary creasing. This mediumweight weave gives you warmth with a comfortable drape.
Our wool is ethically sourced and mulesing-free, from sheep raised in free-roaming farming systems. We source the woven cloth through Irish woollen mills, then cut, sew and finish each ruana in our family workshop in County Kerry.
SIZES AND FINISH
S/M: approximately 29.5 inches (75 cm) long at both the front and back, and 47 inches (119 cm) wide.
L/XL: approximately 35.5 inches (90 cm) long at both the front and back, and 59 inches (150 cm) wide.
These are garment measurements. Please compare them with the length and coverage you prefer, and allow room for the layers you plan to wear underneath. Measurements are approximate because each garment is individually made.
The model is 175 cm tall (approximately 5 ft 9 in) and wears size L/XL. Only the S/M size is hand-fringed; fringe length can vary with the woven cloth. The edges are professionally finished with colour-matched overlocking. Choose your size and hooded or non-hooded style from the options before ordering.
MADE BY OUR FAMILY IN IRELAND
We make it. We sell it. Your ruana comes directly from the family who makes and finishes it, here in Kerry. Buying from us supports our small workshop and the Irish woollen mills we buy from.
CELTIC INSPIRATION
Inspired by the arisaid, a traditional Scottish Highland woollen wrap, our cape collection brings Celtic influence into a modern design. We took its generous folds and adaptable drape as a starting point for our own open-front capes, handmade by our family in County Kerry from wool cloth woven in Ireland. Our photographs were taken around Wish Bridge in the Gap of Dunloe, near Killarney, County Kerry. They show the actual garment in the Irish landscape where we live and work.

Information I Collect
To fulfill your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, mailing address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order, for example), if you contact me directly.
Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It
I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
• as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfill your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
• when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;
• if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
• as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) Providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
• Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
• Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
• Business transfers. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.
• Compliance with laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.

I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements. I generally keep your data for the following time period: 7 years.
Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU
I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If I am deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.
Your Rights
If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. I describe these rights below:
• Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.

• Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
• Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.

I bought the shawl which is okay but was a bit heavy on the neck and my wife didn't like it. Seller wouldn't permit a return or change as said we were outside the 15 days. Suppose that is true, assumed was a month. Would have expected more flexibility.
