Magee 1866 operates in the retail apparel and fashion space, designing and weaving luxury fabrics in Donegal, Ireland. Founded in 1866 by John Magee as a small drapers shop, the business was later acquired by the Temple family, who now lead its third and fourth generations. The company continues to produce fabrics from premium fibers—including cashmere, lambswool, alpaca, silk, and linen—with a small hand-weaving operation that complements its finished garments and home textiles. Its product range includes tailored and casual clothing for men and women, plus accessories and home interiors such as throws and cushions, with a dedicated accessory collection launched in 2013. Sales occur online, through Magee-owned stores, and via selected stockists across the UK, Ireland, and EU; in 2024 the brand participated in Brown Thomas CREATE, indicating ongoing engagement with contemporary retail events.
