Connemara Sky

Connemara is a district in western Ireland, facing the Atlantic. Its coastline has tiny coves, bays, solitary cottages and fishing villages.
The colors in Connemara are always more powerful than anywhere else in Ireland: the blues are bluer, the whites brighter, and the green has a spectacular shade that is truly unique to this part of the world.
This pattern is inspired by the beautifully striking sky that hugs the coastline like a big blue hug.
