About us
The Brand
FADA is an Irish jewellery and clothing brand founded by Ciarán Martley in 2021. Inspired by Irish culture, identity and modern style, the brand originally started through jewellery with the goal of creating more modern everyday pieces that still felt connected to Ireland. As the brand grew, FADA expanded into clothing with the same focus on quality, fit and longevity.
All of our products are designed in Ireland. We work closely with our manufacturing partners in China to produce both our clothing and jewellery collections and have built strong long term relationships with the people producing our products over the past number of years.
What started as a small jewellery brand has grown into a full clothing and jewellery label shipping worldwide from Ireland.
Clothing Manufacturing
Our clothing is produced with our manufacturing team in China after spending a long time sampling with different factories in China and Portugal to find the right fit for the brand.
For us, product quality always came first. We wanted pieces that felt heavyweight, durable and properly made not overly fast fashion or disposable.
All FADA clothing is made using 100% cotton fabrics. A huge amount of development goes into every product before production especially around fit, fabric weight, washes and finishing details.
We work very closely with our manufacturers throughout the whole process from first samples through to final bulk production. It is a very collaborative relationship and something we have built over time.
Jewellery Manufacturing
Our jewellery is produced with our long term manufacturing partners in China.
Every jewellery piece goes through extensive sampling and development before production. A lot of focus goes into the weight, finish, durability and overall feel of every piece before it is approved.
All FADA jewellery is made using 316L stainless steel. We chose 316L because it is waterproof, resistant to tarnishing and built for everyday wear. A large number of our pieces are also finished with premium gold plating.
We have worked hard to build close relationships with the people producing our jewellery and see manufacturing as a real partnership rather than simply placing orders.
