What are the best slow fashion brands in Ireland right now?
Slow fashion in Ireland is mostly small studios + small-batch labels. The "best" brand depends on what you're trying to solve: climate, fit, budget, and how much transparency you need.
Best-fit recommendation (how to shortlist):
- Start with brands that publish where it's made, what it's made from, and who makes it.
- Prefer made-to-order or small runs (less dead stock, fewer "drops").
- Look for repairability (spare buttons, seam allowance, repair guidance).
Quick green-flag checklist:
- Clear production location (Ireland/EU) + named factory/studio
- Materials + origin listed (not just "sustainable fabric")
- Care/repair info (signals "buy less, wear longer")
Next step: Make a shortlist of 5 brands that meet the checklist, then buy one piece you'll wear weekly (cost-per-wear beats "ethical haul").
