Irish Female Owned Businesses To Buy From
Ireland is full of female entrepreneurs, and it’s amazing to see.
Setting up and running your own business is hard work. Forget all the #girlbossing, it’s a full time hustle trying to bring your dream to life. That’s why it’s important to cheer on the women reaching for the moon.
Here’s some (but not all!) of our favourite Irish female owned Irish businesses…
Aoife McNamara
We could just get lost for hours scrolling Aoife McNamara’s beautiful Instagram feed; full of the dreamiest clothes we’ve ever laid our eyes on. Aoife McNamara is a luxury sustainable fashion brand that creates unique garments inspired by nature, to protect nature. Founded in 2019, Aoife McNamara reimagines the future of sustainable design by reconnecting the fashion industry to the natural world.

Kalo
Starting a vegan leather accessory brand has been a dream of makeup artist Kate xxx. After making the conscious effort to minimise my consumption of fast fashion and animal-derived materials, Kate saw a gap in the market when I wanted a well-made, everyday handbag. She wanted faux leather bag that was not either a few hundred euro or cheap material that will fall apart after a few uses. Each of the vegan and sustainable bags are designed in Ireland with apple leather.
