Irish silk scarf designer Ciara Silke is established since 2014. Her
beautiful silk scarves are hand designed in her studio in Galway,
Ireland. Ciara’s design process mixes bold imagery with luxury fabrics.
She uses unconventional colour schemes and hand rendered print
techniques —the result is vivid and compelling scarves.

Her signature line consists of feminine, classic scarves, which, when
draped, gathered or tied, lend the perfect touch of allure and
distinction. Her design philosophy embraces simplicity and innovation
while exploring colour to its fullest extent.

Ciara worked with one of the best design houses in the world (DVF)
before starting her label. She has a degree in printed textile design
from the National College of Art and Design, Dublin. Since launching her
label she has appeared in British Vogue and in 2015 one of her silk
scarves was worn to the Oscars® ceremony.

Ciara is a silk scarf designer and artist who has always been
fascinated by the tactile feel of fabrics – working with silk and other
natural fabrics is her passion – experimenting with the ways in which
these fabrics change colour with certain tones, pigments, and printing
techniques, provides endless inspiration for her work.

Ciara Silke is a brand that makes beautiful designs – bringing style
into everyday life. The brand is about melding classic and contemporary
in personalized designs, rather than simple mass production. Since its
inception the Irish scarf label Ciara Silke has gained a loyal following
of dedicated customers and admirers along with numerous industry
accolades.

Ciara launched the Ciara Silke brand because she’s a passionate
believer in the value of colour, design, and textiles. She wanted to
develop an exclusive line of luxury accessories such as silk scarves and
foulards focusing on the highest standards of quality in production.

In 2017 Ciara Silke received a Design Excellence Award from the
Design and Crafts Council of Ireland. The company remains dedicated to
the concept of ‘handmade’ fashion.  Although the brand has significantly
expanded since 2014, the growth has been organic and it remains an
independent company with a small passionate team. The core of our vision
and success are our crafts people in Como, Italy – home to a highly
skilled silk printing tradition since the 19th century.

Ciara Silke is a silk scarf designer based in the west of Ireland.
Having worked for some of the top fashion companies in the US she
decided to experiment with natural materials and colors to create her
very own scarf line.

She studied fashion and textile design in NCAD Dublin. From there she
went onto work for the iconic Diane Von Furstenberg label in New York.
She spent many seasons there, developing her design skills, pattern
skills and learning about the business side of design and manufacture.

Returning to Galway city from New York Ciara started her business –

specializing in a luxury line of silk scarves – a line inspired by the
beauty, colours and majesty of the iconic Connemara landscape and the
wildness of Galway Bay.

Each piece is individually designed in Ireland by Ciara, printed on
fine silk and cashmere textiles in Como, Italy and hand finished in
Galway. Ciara Silke fuses the wildness and vibrancy of her West of
Ireland heritage with a modern, sleek, and timeless style, rendered in
striking colours and fine Italian fabrics.
