pogapparel.com Launches Irish Fashion into the 21st Century

New online retailer features the latest in Irish Fashion. Along with the venerable hand-knit wool Aran sweaters, herringbone overcoats and hand-loomed alpaca scarves are startlingly fresh and on-trend collections by some of Ireland's top designers.

Bennington, New Hampshire (PRWEB) November 21, 2008 -- Just in time for Christmas a new website premiers featuring fine apparel from Ireland and the UK. "Another Irish sweater store," you say?

Not exactly. While you will find very finely crafted hand-woven and hand-loomed knitwear in cashmere and sheep's wool for men women and children, the site is also a showcase for Ireland's growing fashion industry.

"It seems there will always be a place for the amazing tradition of heirloom-quality knitted and woven clothing for which Ireland is known and loved," says pog apparel founder, Vernon Thornblad. "But today's Irish fashion scene is about much more. It is our mission to offer Americans for the first time, the full range of Irish apparel and accessories."

Indeed.

Chic, limited edition tops, skirts, dresses and jackets for women. Dressy, on-trend shoes. A variety of very hip and retro bangles, a line of lighthearted daisy pendant necklaces and earrings in gold and silver. And for young children, a funky line of hand-knit sweater and hat sets. All of this can be found on the site. A line of hats and purses and handbags are also promised.

But what does it all cost?

"We have items for as little as $18.00 and as much as $650," says Mr. Thornblad. "In a down economy, it's difficult to predict how we'll do this first season. But we've done our best to price our offering so that those who wish to purchase very high quality apparel for themselves or as a gift can do so. Initial response to the site and the products we offer has been very positive and we are confident pogapparel.com is here to stay."
