The Cat & The Moon

A Showcase of Irish Craft

The Cat & the Moon was established by jewellery designer Martina Hamilton in 1989. The shop is named after an evocative 1924 play and poem by W. B. Yeats whose great works are synonymous with the Sligo region of Ireland.

For over 35 years The Cat & the Moon and Martina have championed individual small enterprise craft makers of Ireland, like herself. In so doing The Cat & the Moon has earned a reputation as one of Ireland's most distinctive and unique retail outlets.

Everything sold in The Cat & the Moon and on this on-line site is 100% designed and made in Ireland, using skills and makers traditions which have been handed down through generations.
