House of Kindred

House
of Kindred

MANIFESTO Kindred of Ireland is a modern heritage house rooted in linen, place and people. We honour Ireland’s textile traditions by carrying them forward through contemporary design, local craft, and clothing made to hold story.

Our Roots

Our story begins in the flax fields of Ireland, and in the mills where generations spun, wove and worked with linen. Cloth shaped communities, livelihoods and everyday life. For Amy Anderson, that history is also a family story: both her grandparents worked in the linen industry.

In 2020, Amy and Joel founded Kindred to give that connection a new expression. Full sleeves, sculptural shapes and unexpected details bring Amy’s imagination to Irish cloth. The materials and skills are inherited; the possibilities are still unfolding.

Our Founders

Amy and Joel want Kindred to bring a little more imagination to everyday dressing. They believe in the pleasure of choosing what feels like you, whether that means a quiet favourite or something wonderfully expressive.

Amy leads the creative direction, shaping both the collections and the worlds around them. Her imagination extends into the photographs, settings and stories that invite people into Kindred. Together, they are building a house with the freedom to follow its own tastes and the patience to develop ideas with care.

The Craft

Discover our craft

We love the wealth of textile craft here in Ireland, and the generations of knowledge behind it. For us, valuing that craft means working with it: finding new possibilities in familiar techniques, and keeping those skills part of the clothes we make and wear today.

Beetled linen finished at William Clark & Sons in Upperlands. Tweed woven by Molloy & Sons in Ardara. Each cloth brings a character of its own.

We work with that character: crisp linen that holds a full sleeve, tweed shaped into a jacket with a generous bow, Irish crochet adding an intricate, handmade detail. Pieces made to soften with wear, gather stories and be handed on.

Beetled Linen

Beetled linen survives in just one place: William Clark & Sons in Upperlands, the last beetling mill in the world. There, linen is dampened and beaten with wooden blocks for hours, until the fibres flatten into a distinctive sheen and crisp structure.

That finish has become part of our design language, from the sculptural sleeves of a beetled Cadhla shirt to our experiments with metallic linen. An old process, with new possibilities in the wearing.

Made when chosen

Most Kindred pieces are made to order on the island of Ireland. We begin making after you choose your piece, rather than producing a full run in every size. It usually takes two to four weeks.

Needed sooner? A selection is ready to ship, and we can often bring a date forward if you ask.
