The owners of The Old Mill Stores in Gortroe, Co Cork are interior designer Claire Graham and Tom Keane, an experienced retailer. They spotted a gap in the market for edgy homewares. “We trade on our difference, not our sameness,” says Claire. “We have drawn on our design experience to help us choose interesting stock, and regularly add new brands sourced on our travels.”   

"We’ve designed the shop to be part lifestyle shop, part creative shopping experience and part experimental showcase for unusual homeware and design."
