Our Values as a Vintage Clothing Company

First and foremost, we are proud to be a small Irish vintage clothing company. We love celebrating Irish design. And we love being able to say that all our products are designed in Ireland. At Carousel, we support our community by employing people locally. Furthermore, we use local suppliers for our Dublin studio wherever possible. We also love collaborating with creative people in our local area such as models, make up artists and photographers.

As a small business specialising in vintage female clothing, we have the luxury of being able to provide a personal customer experience. Therefore we can respond to your queries quickly. And easily solve any issues you may have. In addition to this, because we are small, we can constantly look at improving how we do things at Carousel with our brand Circus. We can make quick decisions on important topics such as sustainability, inclusivity and accessibility.

Sustainability and responsibility is at our core. From the beginning of Carousel in 2001, we have focused on doing things the right way. We believe in order to deliver exceptional vintage fashion style; we need to design our products alongside our values. Our motivation is to create excellent vintage clothing and accessories. In particular we are passionate that our products have to be manufactured ethically. Our partner factory, Good Earth India, is a spacious, modern factory with comfortable conditions for all its employees. We collaborate closely with the factory and we visit regularly to inspect the standards.
