Ekotree
Knitwear Studio & Visitor Centre
Ekotree is a small designer- maker knitwear studio based in Doolin, County Clare. Merging traditional heritage stitches structures with quality natural yarns and a distinctive contemporary look, the brand concentrates on producing quality pieces for discerning customers seeking authenticity and provenance. All Ekotree products are made in the Doolin studio.
Open Studio & Shop
The studio is unique as it is open daily throughout most of the year and invites the visitor to go behind the scenes and experience the design and manufacturing process, meet the makers and shop the collection. Visitors are invited to shop the ranges for women, men, home, baby and gift in the spacious 900 square foot retail space. Or relax and read a book beside the range.
Meet the Makers
Ekotree is one of only a handful of knitwear brands actually producing all its knitwear here in Ireland. Drop in and see how we test yarns, build programmes, knit pieces, construct and finish the knitwear.
Quality Yarns
Ekotree only uses top quality natural yarns including cashmere, merino wool, linen, alpaca and silk. Blended yarns are used too including cashmere/merino/silk, merino/alpaca, cashmere/linen, cashmere/cotton, camel & yak.
Sustainability
Reducing and eliminating waste is an intrinsic part of Ekotree’s core values. Advanced fully fashioned knitting technology and finishing techniques reduces wastage significantly. Design, sampling, manufacturing, finishing and packaging are carried out in the studio giving us full control over all stages of the making process.
