Every once in a while we find an amazing supplier that we just have to tell you about! If you’re looking for fun, quirky and quality wedding gifts than look no further! The Old Mill Stores, based in West Cork sell high quality home ware, gifts and stoves. But they’re not just any home ware store, owners Tom and Claire are in love with original and well designed products as well as odd things and products with more than one purpose.
This comes from Claire, an interior designer whose written extensively about interiors and design says that she is constantly alerted to w’hat is on-trend or likely to be the next big thing.’ The Old Mill Stores method of operating is to be different but also try and promote new Irish craft makers and designers. One great example is designer, Rene who supplies them with their Tae towels! A gorgeous range of Irish designed tea towels.
Speaking with Claire (‘Tom’s business partner and in life’), she mentioned that this love comes from travelling, ‘throughout our life together we have always travelled- mainly in Denmark (where Tom sources our antique stoves), Holland, Italy, Spain and France in particular. Denmark is renowned for being design-savvy and eco-led, Holland has great colour and often new takes on old product, Italy of course is the home of cutting-edge homewares and Spain and France have brilliant markets and chic interiors shops. ‘
