Our Story

Christopher and Humin founded Verdois with the core purpose of ensuring a prosperous future for the children of the present. They saw Verdois as an opportunity to alleviate the prevailing business model in the clothing industry based upon fast fashion. Throughout Christopher and Humin’s careers, they recognised the environmental damage precipitated by this approach.

Therefore, they sought to disrupt this destructive business model by providing a new choice to parents in Ireland, Verdois, a children’s clothing retailer where they could find products that were not only ethically and sustainably produced but were durable. The resilient nature of these high quality products could consequently reduce the production of clothing and thereby further safeguard our planet for the generations of the future.
