THE SCEÁL*
BHÍOS stems from an accumulation of things: an interest in interior design, a grá* of Ireland and a passion for new experiences.
Throughout the pandemic, seeing the world and experiencing what it has to offer were the luxuries some people missed the most. Not being able to travel led us to remembering all of the great áiteanna* we were lucky enough to visit in ‘normal’ times.
When initial lockdowns were lifted - being limited in where we could go, gave us the opportunity to explore this beautiful tír * that we proudly call home. It didn’t take long for us to be in awe of the sights that we had on our doorstep.
This sparked the idea for BHÍOS – We wanted to know where we had been, but also know where we need to go next.
Even on this small island of ours, there is so much to see & do.
By creating these designs, we hope to encourage & inspire people to go and do the things they always wanted to do & to visit the places they always dreamed of.
"An té a bhíónn siúlach, bíonn scéalach" *
is a Gaelic word that comes from our native Munster dialect (Gaelainn na Mumhan). It means . . . .
I WAS
along with creating meaningful designs, we'd also love to spread a small bit of our beautiful language.
If you can pronounce our ainm*
- "VEE - USS"
and follow it with
I - "IH"
you will be able to tell everyone where you were as 'Gaeilge'
- I LAHINCH

THE LOGO
The lines that frame BHÍOS represent the checkbox that we hope to fill. Every time you tick off a place on your list, you are essentially saying - "I was there!" - BHÍOS ann!*
