Amy and Joel founded Kindred of Ireland in 2020 with a shared belief that clothing should carry meaning, integrity, and care. Shaped by family history and local craft, the house was sparked by an old newspaper cutting of Amy’s grandmother Winnie spinning linen as a teenager, a quiet reminder of the lives and values that came before.

Craftsmanship sits at the heart of Kindred. We work with Irish linen and Donegal tweed, using traditional techniques such as Irish crochet and beetled linen, made slowly and locally by skilled artisans. Each piece reflects a deep respect for quality, material, and the hands behind the work.

Belfast is the place that holds Kindred. It shapes our rhythm, our way of working, and our connection to the makers and materials around us. By keeping production close to home, we are able to build lasting relationships, support local skill, and stay rooted in the place our story began.
