An innovative Irish slow fashion company is developing contemporary crochet and knitwear products using natural, recycled and lower-impact fibres. With a strong focus on sustainability, circularity and distinctive design, the company is seeking international partners supplying recycled and organic cotton yarns and sustainable fibres, as well as manufacturers experienced in premium-quality knitwear and crochet production.

An innovative Irish slow fashion company, founded in 2026, is currently developing a distinctive range of contemporary crochet and knitwear products, with sustainability, craftsmanship and responsible sourcing at the heart of its product development. The company currently produces selected crochet products using recycled cotton yarn, including yarn made from discarded textile materials. It is now developing future collections incorporating contemporary silhouettes, distinctive patterns and Irish-inspired design details, creating modern and wearable products while maintaining a strong sense of identity. The company is seeking to develop long-term international relationships with reliable suppliers and manufacturing partners who can support the development and scaling of its product range while meeting high standards of quality and sustainability. The company is particularly interested in partners who can supply: - Recycled cotton yarn, including yarn produced from pre-consumer or post-consumer textile waste. - Organic, recycled and other sustainable cotton and natural fibres. - High-quality yarns suitable for crochet and knitwear production. - Sustainable and lower-impact textile materials. - Innovative materials or processes that can help reduce textile waste. The company is also seeking experienced manufacturers with capabilities in premium cotton knitwear and crochet production, particularly those able to work with smaller or developing fashion brands and support product development from sampling through to production. Sustainability and traceability are important considerations when selecting partners. The company would particularly welcome cooperation with suppliers and manufacturers able to demonstrate responsible production practices, transparent supply chains and relevant certifications such as GOTS, GRS and OEKO-TEX, where applicable. Of particular interest are innovative approaches to circularity, including the transformation of textile waste into new yarns and materials, as well as processes that reduce waste and environmental impact during yarn, garment and product manufacturing. The company is seeking long-term supplier and manufacturing cooperation with international partners and is also open to technical or product-development cooperation where partners can contribute innovative sustainable textile solutions. The desired cooperation would enable the Irish company to expand its product range and international potential while maintaining its focus on quality, sustainability, circularity and distinctive design. International suppliers of sustainable and recycled yarns/fibres and manufacturers specialising in high-quality knitwear and crochet production will be of particular interest. Partners should have an interest in developing a longer-term commercial relationship and, ideally, demonstrate experience in sustainable textile production and transparent supply chains.

This innovative and creative Irish fashion based company is seeking experienced yarn suppliers, knitwear manufacturers and textile production partners to support the development and future production of its sustainable knitwear and accessories collections. Ideal partner would be located in Ireland or elsewhere in Europe, with a particular preference for manufacturers and suppliers in Portugal, due to its established textile and knitwear industry, geographical proximity to Ireland and strong expertise in sustainable textile production. The Irish company are open to suitable partners in Spain, Italy and other European countries where high-quality and responsible manufacturing capabilities are available. There is a particular interest in collaborating with small to medium-sized specialist manufacturers and suppliers that are experienced in working with emerging fashion brands and are able to offer a collaborative and flexible approach. The ability to support relatively small initial production quantities, while having the capacity to increase production as the Irish company grows, would be highly advantageous. The Irish company are currently seeking to identify potential partners for a long-term manufacturing or supply relationship rather than a one-off transaction. The ideal partner will be interested in developing new products alongside the Irish company, providing technical expertise and potentially contributing innovative ideas around sustainable yarns, production techniques and material development.
