History

Established in 2001.

Celtoi Designs (pronounced ‘kell-​toy) takes it’s name from the original Greek word for the Celts and is a small craft and artistic enterprise based in Dundonald, not far from the iconic Stormont Parliament buildings in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It was created by Adrian McAleese in 2001 and since then Adrian has quickly made a name for himself in the competitive giftware market, having come to the attention of exclusive stockists and clients from showings at many prestigious trade and craft exhibitions around the country.

All of Adrian’s work combines the ancient and iconic Celtoi Knot with ‘newspaper cuttings’ printed with the customers specific details. This creates a uniquely individual and handmade gift that is suitable for any occasion.

Meet the Business Owner

Adrian M.

Business Owner

Adrian McAleese started Celtoi Designs in 2001 during a break from his Hotel Management career, and since that time has created a truely iconic product that is shipped worldwide. His products were sold in over 30 retail outlets throughout the UK and Ireland and in over 6 outlets in America.

In 2007, Adrian went back to his roots and returned to his original career in Hotel Management, these days you are likely to see him if you visit the Dunadry Hotel in Templepatrick, where he works as a Duty Manager. This has proved deeply gratifying for him on a personal level and as a result he now spends what spare time he has focusing his attention on his growing number of personal customers ensuring that his pictures never become just another ‘mass produced’ product.

Adrian’s wish is to keep his business true to its origin — to ensure that each gift is carefully and meticulously designed and hand made with an attention to detail not found elsewhere.
