Carraig Donn teams up with Mayo All-Ireland winner Kobe McDonald
Carraig Donn, the Irish retailer proudly rooted in the west of Ireland, has teamed up with All-Ireland-winning Mayo footballer Kobe McDonald and his girlfriend, Leah Maheady, to showcase its new exclusive Mayo collection from Éidin. Set against the stunning backdrop of Downpatrick Head, the photoshoot celebrated the county’s unmistakable spirit, bringing together Irish-inspired design, traditional craftsmanship and a shared pride in Mayo.
The new Éidin Mayo edit features an exclusive Mayo necklace and Mayo tote bag, created for those who want to carry a little piece of home wherever they go. The necklace features a map of Ireland pendant with Mayo outlined, Maigh Eo Abú engraved on the front and 2026 on the reverse, making it a meaningful keepsake for Mayo supporters at home and abroad.
With Christmas approaching, the collection offers a thoughtful gift for anyone with a connection to the county, particularly those living overseas who want a special reminder of home. Leah also showcased Carraig Donn’s exclusive Cream Claddagh Aran Jumper, created in collaboration with Irish knitwear brand Aran Woollen Mills. Designed and made in Ireland from 100% Merino wool, the jumper combines traditional Aran-inspired cable and honeycomb stitches with a contemporary cropped silhouette and green Claddagh motif. The Claddagh symbol represents love, loyalty and friendship, while the traditional stitches reflect Ireland’s rich knitwear heritage. Kobe wore a classic cream Aran Woollen Mills sweater, alongside the new Éidin Mayo necklace and harp signet ring, while offering a first look at upcoming men’s Westquay fleeces from Carraig Donn.
The shoot was made all the more special by its setting at Downpatrick Head, where the team enjoyed a beautiful day on the Mayo coast. The dramatic Atlantic scenery provided the perfect backdrop for a collection that celebrates the county and its people.
Carraig Donn would also like to wish Kobe the very best of luck as he heads to Australia, with the Éidin Mayo collection offering a fitting reminder of home.
The exclusive Mayo necklace is available in limited quantities, alongside the wider Éidin collection and the Éidin x Aran Woollen Mills Claddagh Aran Jumper.
The exclusive Éidin Mayo collection is available in Carraig Donn’s Westport and Castlebar stores, Corbett Court Shopping Centre in Galway, and online here.
