Made in Ireland

The Made in Ireland project has been established to clearly identify fashion products that have been, like it says, “Made in Ireland“. Spearheaded by ReDress, The Better Fashion Initiative which we have featured on the pages of Classic with Colour – it’s with excitement that we share with you this brilliant idea!

The ‘Made in Ireland’ logo will be visible on all high quality fashion & accessories products that are produced in Ireland starting now, November 2011. And these designers are all fly the flag…

Project 51 – Irish Design Collective

South William Street, Dublin 2

Formerly a fashion haven with designers like Nicky Wallace located on the stretch, South William Street is now home to many, many beauty emporiums including Brown Sugar and Style Club with sumptuous eateries like Busyfeet and CrackBird dotted in between. Project 51 is one of the latest openings in the trendy quarter of South William Street and is sure to make the street fashionable again!

Branded as ‘a luxury Soho-style boutique’, Project 51 brings you the best designer collective there is. An Irish design collective. It features fashion, jewellery, millinery and accessories, all designed and created by Irish talent.

With designers on hand to meet clients at Project 51  as well as a team of skillfully trained sales assistants, shopping at Project 51 supports the Irish fashion industry, a local business and new and emerging talents.

The ground floor consists of a retail space showcasing the magnificent collection of works while upstairs consists of design studios where designers are available to sit and meet with clients.

Project 51 is the brainchild of Eoin McDonnell, owner of Precious, a diamond and wedding ring specialist.
