I’ve long since been a supporter of small Irish companies who focus on creativity and sustainability. I applaud any man, woman and parent who takes on the challenge of coming up with an idea, of creating a business and being everything and everyone that is required to run a company, from marketing to designing, they do it all. I’ve reviewed many a product from these wonderful companies and wonderful people but in the run up to Christmas I wanted to do something that I don’t think exists out there already – a proper, constantly updated, list of all the wonderful small businesses out there. A place where people can come with an idea they want to support local, support Irish and they can find what they want here, from these wonderful businesses.
In terms of the type of business listed here I want to focus on businesses that have an eye on sustainability, who are ethical, who create their pieces from scratch, who design their products here in Ireland and have their pieces made by people who are paid a fair wage for their work where ever that may be. This list will be continuously updated, I want every small business to have the chance to be listed here. There is something for every budget, every taste and every occasion. And without further ado…happy shopping! Click on the category to be brought straight to that list if you have an idea of what you’re after.
