Here’s the truth: too much “Irish humour” online sounds like it was cooked up without the cúpla focal, the culture, or the craic that lives in Irish homes, pubs, and parishes every day. What’s here is different: Irish wit and humour rooted in the language, the proverbs, the turns of phrase, and the lived traditions that make the culture what it is.

What this shop is

A small Irish outfit creating designs inspired by seanfhocail, everyday Gaeilge, and the rhythms of Irish life—dreamed up and sketched at home, brewed with strong tea, and finished with a sharp wink of satire. Expect cheeky one‑liners, layered wordplay, and the kind of humour that nods to the culture first, then lands the laugh.

Culture first, always

These pieces are shaped by real idioms, family sayings, parish banter, and the quiet wisdom of old proverbs—never the mass‑produced “plastic Paddy” stuff. If a line wouldn’t pass the test with an Irish mammy, a Gaeilgeoir, or the lads at the bar, it doesn’t make it in.

Language lives here

From seanfhocail to everyday slang, Gaeilge isn’t a garnish—it’s the backbone of the collections, with translations and context woven in so the meaning travels with the joke. The aim is to carry the music of the language into print, keeping phrases alive while making room for a grin.

For who

For the mammy who loves a line that cuts to the truth, the emigrant missing the sound of home, the Gaeilge speaker who wants a clever twist, and anyone who enjoys wit that’s earned, not imitated. If the heart is in the culture and the head in the humour, it belongs here.

The promise

Every product carries a bit of Ireland’s voice—wit that’s playful, humour that’s sharp, and language that matters. Pick up a tee, a mug, or a print, and take home not just a laugh, but a living piece of the culture that made it.

Sláinte,
