ABOUT THE BRAND
ELN is a clothing brand that aims to bring streetwear back to its roots.
Founded by me, Ellen in 2019, we're not just another generic drop made in a horrible sweatshop. ELN is about authenticity and a passion for real style. We want to be quality streetwear that you can keep forever. All of our garments are made, printed and embroidered in our Co Down studio and we're very passionate about being involved in the manufacturing process and sharing this with our customers.
So how did we come to be?
Throughout history, workwear, combat wear and sportswear have been worn together to create streetwear unique looks. I loved this originality and used the idea of streetwear as context for my graduate project while studying fashion at uni in 2019.
Guess what? That graduate project was called ELN and after graduating I just knew I wasnt finished with it, and so became the brand ELN.
How do we work?
We're a small one woman team here at the studio (with a lot of help from family and friends!) with everything being made, finished and packed here by us.
In an effort to work as sustainably as possible and reduce waste, we work on a made to order basis for our online orders. We ask that you allow up to 15 working days for your online orders to be dispatched, but we try our best to get these out to you as soon as possible.
You can also shop our premade garments and accessories instore at our store/studio space Tuesday - Saturday every week. (it's also the perfect chance to see behind the scenes where our garments are made!)
We want to be so much more than just clothes on a rail
We love sharing the behind the scenes and creative processes here at ELN and we love to get you involved too!
Want to design your dream fleece? Come to fleece club, do the designing at our studio, our team we'll cut it out, sew it up and post it straight to your door.
We also love to host and often team up with other creatives to collab on events held in our store. Over the last year we've hosted everything from yoga mornings and jewellery making to wreath making and tshirt printing. Keep an eye out for our upcoming events!
As a streetwear brand, ELN doesn’t want to follow the trends. We want to be so much more than just clothes on a rail and share that with our whole community of likeminded friends.
