About Us - Connemara Carpets

Connemara carpets are one of the leading providers of handmade luxury rugs, carpets and wall hangings in Europe. Founded in 1970, the company has grown to become one of the most prestigious names in the handmade carpet industry. In early 2020 John and Joan Nagle took ownership of the company with a view to modernising the business and expanding local employment. The company has since opened two showrooms, one in Clifden and one in Dublin. The company’s continued dedication to local craft and tailor-made design has made it a leading bespoke brand for public, commercial and residential interiors across the globe.

Heritage and Mission
Carpet making is one of the oldest surviving craft industries in Ireland, dating back to before the industrial production of cheap materials and interiors. Connemara Carpets aims to preserve this craft tradition while also embracing new tastes and emerging designs.

Sourcing and Materials
We take care to source the highest quality materials, selecting only the finest Merino-wools and silks for our carpets. Merino is a rare breed of sheep found in a handful of southern hemisphere countries. Its soft and durable coat makes for a plush finish that is perfect for indoor rugs, carpets and wall hangings.

World class designers and collaborations. Each season we design and release a new series of rugs and carpets under our in-house brand ‘Moyard.’ We also work with some of the leading interior designers and artists in Ireland to support and collaborate on our tailor-made projects for key clients.

Community, diversity and sustainability. Connemara Carpets is a community-based enterprise. All our carpets are designed, and hand tufted by locals from the surrounding community. With over 20 employees from five different countries, Connemara Carpets prides itself on diversity, sustainability and inclusion.
