Our story began in the 1940’s when Edmond Donnelly, our founder, moved to Dublin and was employed as a fabric buyer in Hickeys which was a general merchants store.

This store closed down and Edmond started Hickeys Fabrics with one of the Hickeys brothers who left the business soon after. This was a period when making your own garment was a very popular value solution before the start of cheap clothing retailers.
