Sustainability

A Promise of People, Process & Purpose.

At Circus Clothing, sustainability isn’t a buzzword—it’s how we live, design, and collaborate. From the very beginning, our approach has been personal, rooted in relationships and a deep respect for every step of the process.

CERTIFIED AND ETHICAL

We work exclusively with Considered Clothing, a factory in India that’s been our trusted partner for over ten years. More than a manufacturer, they’re an integral part of our story.

Our factory is SEDEX certified, meaning it meets globally recognised standards for:

  • Worker rights 
  • Safe working conditions
  • Fair business practices

This isn’t a one-time stamp — it involves regular audits and ongoing commitment.

FAIR WAGES & RESPECT

Everyone involved in making your garments is paid fairly and treated with dignity. No shortcuts. No exploitation.

ETHICAL
LABOUR

Safe conditions, Reasonable hours. Respect at every level. That's the standard we work to - not just the minimum.

LOW-IMPACT PRODUCTION

From water use to waste reduction, our factory follow environmentally responsible practices that put the planet first.

CERTIFIED MATERIALS

Our materials are selected with care—for their beauty, longevity, and lower environmental impact. Over 90% of our fabrics are certified natural and sustainable fibres, chosen to reduce harm and ensure our clothes stand the test of time. These are garments made to be worn, loved, and remembered—not tossed aside.

STYLE THAT LASTS

We believe fashion should be romantic, joyful, and modern—without compromise. Our Dublin based design team doesn’t chase trends. Instead, we reinterpret vintage style through a bold, feminine lens, crafting considered clothing that feels as good as it looks.

At Circus, sustainability means looking people in the eye, telling the truth, and doing things right—even when it’s not the easiest path. It’s a promise we’ve kept since day one. And we’re proud to keep doing things differently—because that’s the only way we know how.
