In Ireland, green is never just one colour. It shifts with the light. It deepens with rain. It softens in mist. It brightens when the sun finally arrives. It lives in layers — in grass, in moss, in hillside and hedgerow.
For SS26, we returned to green.
Not as a trend.
But as a remembering.
Applefool is the green of early light — fresh and alive, like morning fields after rain. It carries renewal, the energy of beginning again.
Parrot holds vitality. Clear, luminous, steady. A green that feels awake without being loud.
Chai is grounded and warm — like moss beneath your feet, like earth after rainfall. It is comfort in colour form.
Aruba runs deeper — calm, expansive, reflective. A shade that feels like water meeting sky.
Each tone exists in nature long before it exists in knitwear. We simply pay attention.
Design begins here — in landscape. In stillness. In observing how colour behaves in real life. These references travel with us from Ireland to Nepal, where skilled artisans hand-knit every CASTANEA piece using the finest yarns. The process is slow, deliberate, and human.
Green feels especially aligned with the root — with grounding, steadiness, connection to land. It anchors without heaviness. It supports without drawing attention to itself.
In SS26, green becomes foundation. Not a statement, but a presence. Everyday cashmere designed to settle you into your day rather than compete with it.
Because when you feel grounded, what you wear becomes an extension of that calm.
And perhaps that is what green has always offered, a quiet reminder that we belong to the earth, not separate from it.
Slowly chosen.
Intentionally made.
Rooted in place.
Warmest, Paula
