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, shaped by generations who lived and worked within the linen industry.
For us, Kindred is about belonging to something bigger than ourselves. Honouring our textile heritage, feeling connected to those who came before us, and caring for the legacy we leave behind. We believe in making slowly, reimagining old techniques, and allowing the present to harness the power of the past.
Our Founders
Amy and Joel founded Kindred in 2020, on a shared belief that clothing should carry meaning, integrity and care.
The house was sparked by a single photograph: a newspaper cutting of Amy's grandmother, Winnie, spinning linen as a teenager. A quiet reminder of the lives and values that came before, and the thread it would become our work to carry forward.
The Craft
Craftsmanship sits at the heart of everything we make. We work with Irish linen and Donegal tweed, using traditional techniques such as Irish crochet and beetled linen: made slowly, locally, by the hands of skilled artisans.
We design for longevity, not for the season: pieces meant to soften with wear, gather stories, and be handed on.
House Codes
Our values are shaped by care for the people we work with, the places we belong to, and the legacy we leave behind. They guide how we make, how we act, and how we grow as a house. We believe in building something meaningful, responsible, and rooted in long-term thinking.
Sustainability
Sustainability at Kindred is holistic and human. It encompasses how we design, how we make, how we treat people, and how we give back. From local production and considered materials to supporting charitable partners, we believe responsibility should sit at the heart of everything we do.
Our Place
Belfast is the place that holds Kindred. It shapes our rhythm, our way of working, and our closeness to the makers and materials around us. By keeping production close to home, we build lasting relationships, support local skill, and stay rooted in the place our story began.
You'll find us at 52 Hill Street, in the heart of the city.
