From our tiny stone cottage retreat at the foot of the MourneMountains in CountyDown, it’s clear to see why Ireland holds a special place in the hearts of people the world over.

It’s from here, with its ever changing vistas that I got my inspiration for Bog Standard, a range of gorgeous candles, soaps, hand care and Irish linens inspired by and created in Ireland so everyone may enjoy a little piece of its unique beauty.

Lush green patchworks of fields, windy twisty country roads, higgledy piggledy dry stone walls, long sandy beaches, moist mist and rain….never far away. In essence, we’ve tried to “bottle” all that is lovely about Irish life and landscape and share it.

Where ever you travel in Ireland, you can’t fail to be seduced time and time again by the beauty, sights and smells of this land.
