Irish Crios Nampara Copper

Description

Christy Crios – Irish Handwoven Belt – Nampara Copper
Inspired by Bodmin Moor and the spirit of Poldark

Rich in earthy copper tones, this Irish Crios Nampara Copper is a heartfelt nod to Ross Poldark’s windswept world on Bodmin Moor. This crios, woven at Swallow Studios, draws inspiration from the rugged Cornish landscape and the spirit of resilience that runs through the much-loved Poldark series.

Like many others, Liz was utterly captivated by Poldark—so much so that a newspaper cutting of Aidan Turner as Ross now hangs beside her dye pots in the studio, “for inspiration,” she says with a wink. But behind the humour lies a genuine connection: the determination, grit, and passion Ross showed in keeping the copper and tin mines alive mirror the tenacity needed to preserve traditional crafts like crios weaving and make a living from them.

Liz fell in love with the word Nampara, the name of Poldark’s family home, and this crios captures something of that world—warmth, strength, and a sense of place. The Nampara Copper Crios is handwoven from Donegal tweed wool in glowing shades of copper, russet, and peat, echoing both the mine-rich earth of Cornwall and the wild spirit of Ireland.

Pronounced “Kris” (plural Crioseanna), these belts were once worn by the men of the Aran Islands, wrapped around the waist as part of their everyday attire. Irish Crios – Nampara Copper is timeless, symbolic, and full of character, just like Ross himself.
