A Parisian whirlwind...! As the order book for AW26 closes, huge thanks again to Sphere One's buyers who came from the US, New Zealand, Switzerland and of course Ireland. 2026 was Sphere One's 26th year showing at Paris Fashion Week and we showed the collection at a new gallery space in the Marais and had lots of fun turning it into our own little Sphere for a few days, and getting to know the local spots - celebratory oysters & champagne to mark another great show à Paris! 🥂
Biggest thanks as ever to the wonderful and indispensable @fionn.otoole , looking very sharp in his Robin vest and his handsome pooch Neo on the last slide.
For over twenty five years, a commitment to working with the best sustainably sourced natural yarns has been at the core of Sphere One’s philosophy. The finest mills in Scotland and Italy, with reputations built on years of skill and craftsmanship, comb, dye, twist and spin the cashmere for luxury, longevity and beauty. The yarn is dyed before spinning, giving a vibrancy and depth to every colour, while the quality ensures an exquisite finish and reduced pilling so that with care, a Sphere One cashmere sweater or cardigan should continue to please for many years.
The silk viscose velvet of this patch acts as a chameleon colour, shifting as it moves, drawing out and enlivening the hues of the melange cashmere sweater. The special overlock stitch attaching the patch is the result of a trial from 20 plus years ago, unique to Sphere One.

Painstaking prep for Paris Fashion Week! Cutting delicate silk tulle, trimming chiffon threads, precision cutting velvet to make colour cards to help buyers make their selections for AW26.
Our hand-knit Mizen sweater features a complex stitch known as the Bramble, Blackberry or Trinity stitch, used a lot in traditional Irish hand knitting. This traditional technique is made modern in the best soft baby alpaca yarn, sourced directly from Peru, incredibly lightweight, with wonderful texture. Designed in Ireland, made by hand, and crafted to last for many cold weather seasons to come.
