The Environment

Words I like to use to describe Laoise Carey Studio include:

Lovingly Designed
Slowly Perfected
Kind to the Earth
Environmentally Friendly
Ethically Made
Hand Crafted
 
Although sustainability is at the heart of Laoise Carey Studio, I have found that 'sustainable fashion' is quickly becoming a buzzword, used by many who wish to seem more eco-conscious.

My wish is to promote honesty and transparency within the fashion industry, by sharing with my customers every aspect of what makes my brand sustainable. I believe that if fashion design and manufacturing processes are ethical and environmentally friendly, then the fashion industry can be sustained long into the future. 

Materials & Textiles 

Materials for each collection are gathered from car boot sales, flea markets, vintage shops and antique sellers. Each fabric and notion must be sourced, washed and prepared for use before it can be cut and crafted into your beautiful new (reconstituted) item of clothing.

The fabrics used to create each garment are described in detail in every product listing, for full transparency.

Limited Quantities

Because of my commitment to using vintage, deadstock and remnant textiles, each garment is either unique or one-of-a-few. This means I cannot re-stock a fabric that has sold out.  Where possible, I make one garment for our website and offer a small quantity in a custom size, made to order especially for you. 

Made in Ireland

 Every item is designed, cut, sewn, packaged and shipped from my design studio in Co. Tipperary, Ireland.

 

I hope to encourage you to care for the environment as much as I do, and to share your values through the clothes that you wear.
