Award-Winning Sustainable Fashion Brand
AOIFE® is an award-winning fashion brand with a strong focus on sustainability and circular production methods. The brand is committed to creating a circular ecosystem by utilizing rescued, regenerative resources and sustainable materials sourced from Ireland. Garments are designed with circularity in mind, and accessories are handcrafted from rescued ghost fishing nets and Italian top-grain leather. This sustainable approach extends the life cycle of products and minimizes waste, ultimately aiming to achieve net-zero fashion and have a positive impact on biodiversity.
Rescued Materials
Our materials are only manufactured by sustainable, green textile companies that hold excellent environmental award-winning credentials.
ECONYL® regenerated yarn is 100% regenerated nylon fibre made from nylon waste otherwise polluting the Earth, like fishing nets, carpet flooring, and industrial plastic rescued from all over the world. When sorted and cleaned, this waste is regenerated and recycled right back to its original purity – to a virgin nylon state. It is then processed into textile yarn for the fashion and interior industries. Manufactured in Europe, for every 10,000 tons of ECONYL® raw material, 65,100 tonnes of CO2 eq. Emissions are avoided, reducing the global warming impact of nylon production by up to 90% when compared with material fabricated from oil. Furthermore, ECONYL® yarn can be recycled at the end of its life to enter once more into the regeneration system and be redesigned and redeveloped for modern living. On this path, the circular life cycle of the ECONYL® material is continued.
Each product is endorsed with the 100% ECONYL® regenerated nylon label trademark.
