Walpole's Brands of Tomorrow

Marking this milestone, together.

This week, we were selected as one of Walpole’s Brands of Tomorrow — a year-long mentorship programme supporting the next generation of British luxury brands. We are also their first ever member from Northern Ireland, which feels especially meaningful to us.

When we started Kindred, it was never simply about making clothes. It was about reimagining Irish linen for today, keeping heritage skills alive and honouring the very best of Irish craftsmanship. It was about creating something that felt rooted in this place, yet able to travel far beyond it.

And as ever, these milestones come back to you - our community of customers and supporters who believe in our mission as much as we do. The emails, comments and kind words. The pieces you’ve chosen, worn and brought to life in moments both big and small. Some of you have been with us from the very beginning, others have only just discovered us. Milestones like this are built slowly, but always together.
