where to buy ethical clothing in Dublin or on web

coldpaw

Hey up,

Now that i have a job I would like to buy clothes where people were paid a fair wage to make them (no slave Labour)

This is a problem as almost everything seems to be made in Bangladesh etc.

I am a lad who is not particularly mad into fashion by any stretch of the imagination and is not really into brand names as such

Does anyone know of any shops in Dublin which have a decent range of ethical clothing- the only two I know of are Road jeans and American apparel.

cheers

Hey OP,

I know topshop often have a small fair trade range of clothes which is often quite nice, other than that I don't know any shops in Dub that do fair trade clothing.

I often buy great fair trade clothes on this site www.peopletree.co.uk tho. The only prob is that there delivery charge to Ireland is pretty shocking if you're spending less that 100 pounds sterling, so I usually get the stuff delivered to my sister who lives in the UK. But you can buy People Tree clothing from asos.com where the delivery might be cheaper.

Some nice stuff there but it's a little pricy. Buying in second hand and swap shops would also be ethical as it is technically recycling.

there is a t-shirt shop in temple bar called red eye, its on crowe street, most of the t-shirts are fair trade, at least last time I could afford to buy clothes they were and I think some of the hoodies are as well.

Unaton

There's also Ali Hewson's (Bono's missus) online shop EDUN, all organic, fair trade, sustainable etc. Not cheap but the stuff is high quality and has loadsa beautiful things there.

Asos are launching "The Green Room" on February 15th which is dedicated to ethical fashion.

Some of the sites mentioned in last Sunday Times article on ethical fashion might help the original poster.

Going to bump this after what happened in the Penneys factory today. Does anybody know where in Dublin (Or online) you can get fair trade / ethically manufactured clothing?
