John Branigan is a producer that carries forward this heritage, and the company possesses a truly unique skill found nowhere else in the world: the ability to weave knitting yarns on a loom. This distinctive technique was originally developed by John’s grandmother and is now carried on by the fourth generation, John Branigan Jr.

In the early years, the company produced tapestries, stoles, and bed covers. As times changed, it expanded into creating products for the fashion industry. The business continued to grow, supplying fabrics to international brands across Japan, the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and beyond. In recent years, the company has also begun designing and manufacturing finished products within its own factory.

Their exceptional craftsmanship became widely recognized in Ireland. In 1979, the company was honored with a commission to produce a peace tapestry to be displayed at the altar during the Pope’s visit to Ireland. The brand has also been selected for gifts to dignitaries, including a bed-making blanket for the Princess of Monaco and an Irish cape for the wife of U.S. President Ronald Reagan.
