manufacturing and production
As we continue to develop new collections, we'll also continue expanding this page with information about where our products are made, how we choose our production partners, and the steps we take throughout the manufacturing process.

our garments
Our Niamh Denim, Aine Tee, and Ciara Polo are manufactured in Guangzhou, China by carefully selected production partners - we selected our current partner with the assitance of local experts within the denim industry (special thanks to Ariel and Yao Yu).
Before producing our first collection, we visited several manufacturers around Guangzhou. We ultimately chose our current partner based on the quality of their work, their experience producing premium denim, their ability to manufacture in smaller production runs, and the open communication we had directly with the factory owner throughout the process.
Their experience producing denim for Japanese brands and clients gave us confidence in their expertise with vintage washes, finishing techniques and garment construction qualities that were especially important in developing the Niamh Denim.

factory visits
Before approving production, we visited the factory in person to better understand the manufacturing process and ensure it aligned with the standards we were looking for.
During our visit we were able to observe:
- Bright, organised production areas with clean workspaces.
- Climate-controlled working environments.
- Employee break and rest areas.
- Garment construction and quality control processes.
- Denim washing facilities used to create our vintage finishes.
With the factory's permission, we documented our visit through photographs and videos, some of which are shared below to give customers a better understanding of where our garments are made.
The facility also complies with local environmental requirements that permit specialised processes, including overnight denim stone-washing cycles where required.
small batch production
As an independent brand, we produce in relatively small batches rather than large-scale mass production. This allows us to avoid unnecessary overproduction while giving us the flexibility to improve products between collections based on customer feedback and our own quality standards.
Every collection goes through multiple rounds of sampling and revisions before production begins, with finished products reviewed again before being released.

going forward
As we grow, we'll continue adding information about our manufacturing partners, production locations, materials and any what we're able to verify and share.
While we don't publicly disclose the names of our manufacturing partners to protect long-term commercial relationships, we're committed to sharing as much meaningful information as we reasonably can about how and where our products are made.
When we first visited our manufacturing partner, our priority was documenting the production process for our own records rather than creating public content. Because of this, we've only published images that respect the privacy of employees. On future visits, we'll capture more of the manufacturing process specifically for this page while continuing to protect the privacy of everyone working at the facility.
We will be visiting our garment manufacturers again in later 2026, during our next trip we will commit to collecting more information in person to share with our customers.
