An Taoide dress
An Taiode Gúna / The tide dress, represents the turning of the tide. Inspired by lapping layers of the rolling tide and our ethos of weaving wild & kind into what we choose to wear.
With fast fashion and overconsumption filling our land and seas with plastic, we at Wildkind believe in slowing down and choosing natural fabrics that are kind to the wild around us and are made to last.
Designed to Grow:
Our dress is a handmade piece which has been carefully designed to grow with your child from ages 4 to 10+
Made to be worn for the big days, wee days and all the other days in between.
It can be passed down to be worn again again and eventually return to the earth where it will biodegrade naturally.
End of roll Irish Linen is carefully sourced in local Mills. By handpicking ‘last of their kind’ fabric we weave the greatest commodity, time, into each garment.
Irish Seed Labels:
Labels are handmade from scratch, starting by making our native Irish seed paper. When planted these labels will grow into native Irish wildflowers and the blue flowers of the linen / flax plant. In turn helping the endangered wild bee’s of Ireland. The labels also feature artwork from theWildkind book.
We Grow Slow:
10% of our profits go toWe Grow Slowhelping marginalised & refuge seeking children in the North of Ireland connect to the wild around us, nurturing a sense of place for all children.
Material:
Linen is a natural material made from the flax plant, grown without pesticides and using less water than many other crops. Linen is naturally anti-bacterial and hypoallergenic, and has been known through the ages as a healing cloth. The hollow fibres of linen ensure good thermo regulating properties, so its breathable on a warm day and keeps the heat in when its cold outside. It is stronger than cotton and last’s for years and years, getting softer with age.
Available in Black / White / Cream.
Notes on care:
Hand wash or machine wash at 30°on a gentle cycle.
Dry Flat / drip dry.
Steam iron or embrace the crease.
More notes on care:
Go outside more. Rest more. Drink more water. Say more “I Love you”s.
