FOREWORD
PAUL COSTELLOE IRISH AMERICAN ROOTS
Paul’s history with New York began when his grandfather, Michael
Joseph Curran went to New York with an Athletics/Hurling Team in the
1890’s. While there he met Allen Frances Coyle, a native of the city, and
decided to stay. They married in 1899. Paul’s mother Katherine Easter
Curran was born in 1902. The family prospered running a successful
licensed bar.
When Katherine visited Dublin for the Horse Show in 1925, she met
Paul’s father, William J. Costelloe. The two married in New York in 1926.
The bride wore April cream silk satin and carried a bouquet of orange
blossom.
The groom and groomers carried blackhorn sticks with silver tops.
They returned to Ireland and raised seven children, Paul being the
youngest, with William J building a successful manufacturing . company,
Valstar. The company was a mainstay of the raincoat and outerwear
industry.

PAUL COSTELLOE
LONDON
Dublin born Paul Costelloe is one of the most established names in British
Fashion. With his strong sense of style and the desire to create wearable
designs for the modern global customer, it is easy to see why Paul
Costelloe has been the head of such a successful label for over 30 years.
The Award winning label has expanded it’s business throughout the years
and now holds it’s name in ladies wear to menswear, jewellery to eyewear,
corporate wear, luxury accessories and the ever popular Paul Costelloe
Living homewares line.
Heritage is one of the key philosophies which the label thrives from. With
six sons and one daughter, Paul sees the importance of family heritage
which can help to carry a brand through the good times and the bad. This
philosophy will keep the Costelloe name alive as a family run business,
which holds so much value and untapped potential.
