CARNDONAGH based
sustainable clothing store Síoraí calls on people to buy
recycled fashion for upcoming events like communions and
summer holidays. Part of the award-winning Spraoi agus
Spórt social enterprise, the stylish store stocks
leading labels and brands among its fashion for women,
men, and children. |

“Communions and
confirmations can be costly for families, especially if
items are bought only to be worn once,” says Helen
Nolan, Chief Executive of Spraoi agus Spórt. “It’s
important to remind people that shopping in a
sustainable store like Síoraí is a smart and affordable
option. The preloved quality clothing we stock diverts
it from going to landfill, supports the local circular
economy, and is better for the planet.”
Thanks to preloved clothing being donated to Síoraí
Clothing, they are constantly restocking their rails
says Helen Nolan.
“Síoraí Clothing is not your regular second-hand shop;
it is a stylishly curated store. We want people to see
it as a destination every time they are looking for a
new outfit or piece of clothing. We stock beautiful
dresses, trousers, tops and jackets, as well as handbags
and shoes, from heels to runners. Monsoon, Miss
Selfridge, Boohoo, Gap, Nike, and Hollister, we see them
all. Since we opened, over 100 people have shopped
preloved that would never have considered it before.” |

“The smallest efforts make
the biggest difference,” says Kathleen McDaid,
Facilities and Volunteer Lead at Spraoi agus Spórt. “We
chose Síoraí, as the store name. It is the Irish word
for continual or everlasting, and that’s what the
circular economy is all about.”
Located on Bridge Street, Síoraí Clothing seeks to
integrate the circular economy into the local community
by encouraging people to shop more sustainably. All
funds from sales are used to provide activities and
services that help children and young people in the
community reach their full potential. In particular,
they fund special needs assistance to enable children of
all abilities to participate.
Síoraí Clothing is open from 10am to 5pm Monday to
Saturday. Find out more about Síoraí preloved fashion
