This week on My Soul Style I talk with Suzy Monaghan, of Monaghan Cashmere, a store that specialises in ethically sourced Cashmere on South Anne Street in Dublin, Ireland. Monaghan Cashmere is a family run business which was established over 60 years ago by Suzie’s father, Tom Monaghan with his wife Therese. Tom who is 96 years of age is still active in the business! Suzie is married and has two children & is the creative director and head designer of Suzy Monaghan Cashmere, a contemporary cashmere range designed in Ireland and ethically manufactured in Scotland which is stocked exclusively at Monaghan Cashmere. Suzie’s designs merge the heritage of original piece from the Monaghan archives with her own contemporary fashion twist.  Having grown up working in the family business starting as a schoolgirl working on the shop floor, Cashmere is tightly woven into Suzie’s very DNA. There is nothing this lady doesn’t know about the different grades of cashmere, why certain cashmere lasts longer than other. What is ethical and unethical about the cashmere business and most importantly how to look after your precious cashmere pieces, so they last a lifetime! Suzie is a passionate advocate of buying less and buying better and has pieces of cashmere that have been passed down from her mother that she wore and has now subsequently passed down to her daughter! Meaning three generations have enjoyed the quality of one cashmere jumper!

 It is a great honour to have Suzie with us in studio today to share her soul style journey with us.
