Our Story

Alder & Flax began with a simple belief: clothing should be made to last. We work with small-batch mills across Ireland, weaving garments from Irish linen and Donegal wool using traditional methods passed down through generations.

Every piece is designed for longevity — timeless cuts, honest construction, and natural fibres that improve with age. We choose quality over quantity, craft over speed, and durability over disposability.

Our commitment extends beyond the sale. Each garment carries a lifetime repair guarantee, because we believe the clothes you wear should be with you for years, not seasons.

Care & Repair

We offer free repairs for the lifetime of your garment. Bring any piece back to us and we'll mend it — no questions asked. A promise of quality and durability.

Linen Care

Hand wash or gentle machine wash in cold water. Lay flat to dry. Iron while slightly damp for a crisp finish, or leave unironed for a relaxed texture.

Wool Care

Hand wash in cool water with a gentle wool detergent. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat. Air regularly to refresh between washes.
