Canada Post Strike Update

As of Friday, Nov 15th, the CUPW (Canada Post) is on a national strike. We are still open for business. Customers within Canada can choose FedEx for a $30 flat rate, or choose regular mail and opt to wait until the strike is over for the package to ship. Please note US/international orders will only ship through Canada Post/USPS and will ship after the strike ends. Thank you for your patience and trust in us. We remain excited and confident in our abilities to bring Irish clothing and gifts to all corners of the world! - The team at Irish Design

This is a "must do" every time we come to Niagara-on-the-Lake. It really gives you the feel as though you're walking into a piece of Ireland.

Our Story

From the owners, Paul & Maureen Dickson
Located in the beautiful town of Niagara On The Lake, Ontario, we've been specializing in collections of authentic Irish knits & country-chic outerwear since we immigrated from Ireland to Ontario 37 years ago. We started small, near the clock tower on Queen Street and then took over the units on either side. Eighteen wonderful years were spent at that location and it's where we were able to cement our business in the fabulous town that is NOTL! In 2006 we found ourselves lucky enough to have outgrown our original location. We decided to expand our square footage again and moved across the street to build the larger shop we are at now, right beside the renowned Shaw Festival Royal George Theatre. It is here that our business has really flourished and with the same staff we started with, we are lucky to have become one small business family. We hope you enjoy our collections online and please feel free to come visit us at 75 Queen Street!
