About the Brand:
At the working farm in County Kerry, on the windswept coast of Ireland where Margaret O’Leary was born and raised, knitting wasn’t a hobby, it was a necessity. The second oldest of twelve kids, store-bought clothes weren’t an option for the O’Leary brood. By the age of 9, Margaret was knitting scarves, socks, and sweaters—durable and well-constructed garments made to be handed down. Life on that humble farm guided Margaret toward a life of creating comfortable, timeless garments that make people happy.
After immigrating to San Francisco in 1989, Margaret continued doing what she did best: creating hand-loomed knitwear in her tiny apartment. Nearly 35 years later, she remains the ever-evolving brand’s creative director and muse-in-chief.
Margaret O’Leary is an independent, employee-owned business providing our community of daughters, sisters, moms, muses, mavens, and everyday miracle-makers with the comfort and poise of sensible luxury.
