While we take our pause, shipments will only be sent once a week. Sorry for any inconvenience!!

Its a Pause for now!

Firkail was created by us, Aoife & Orla, almost 2 years ago with a goal to create sustainable everyday essentials that would last, with a bit of fun thrown in and some west Cork vibes. We hope we achieved this! But we have struggled to juggle running a sustainable online business with our busy lives and day jobs. So we made the tough decision to take a pause on the business for now.

Its a competitive world in sustainable fashion… we will be here all day if we start on this point! Our ultimate goal is to create Irish Hemp apparel from seed to stitch. Hemp for us is an amazing fabric that can change the world and we will continue to support, educate and work on an Irish Hemp fabric.

Massive thank you to all our customers, local businesses, the incredible support from our stockists, our friends and in particular our family who were always so patient with us.

For now enjoy 50% off everything site wide, shop responsibly.

Thank you so much for your support!!

Firkail's Organic Hemp Cotton Long Sleeve V Neck - coming AW22

A warm hug from hemp

Wear hemp, shop less

SUPER SOFT & LONG-LASTING

Hemp cotton isn’t just super soft, it also gets softer with wear. Its long-lasting properties make our clothes perfect items to hand down to the next generation!

HYPOALLERGENIC & ANTI-BACTERIAL

Being naturally anti-bacterial and hypoallergenic means hemp cotton is very gentle on our skin. With added UV protection it is the perfect companion for any activity
big or small.

NATURALLY BIODEGRADABLE

Hemp fabric is naturally biodegrable and compostable. We ensure this by using only natural dyes in our designs. Using clothing as compost can foster new growth and reduce landfill use.

CONSUMES MORE CARBON THAN TREES

Consumes four times more carbon dioxide than trees and uses 50% less water when compared to cotton. Hemp restores balance to it’s environment by cleaning the air,
soil & water.

REPLENISHES & HEALS OUR SOIL

Hemp enhances soil health by naturally regenerating it, adding nutrients to our soil. It is so effective at cleaning up contaminated soil that it was planted at Chernobyl following the nuclear disaster to help reduce soil toxicity.

PESTICIDE FREE & DEW RETTED

The dense root system and plant growth of hemp means that few weeds can emerge, eliminating the need for herbicides or labour-intensive weeding. Our hemp is completely pesticide free and is dew retted.
