Leggings Manufacturer, Supplier & Exporter in Ireland

Ireland is a small, high-income English-speaking market with a strong online retail habit, a large South Asian and African community and close ties to UK distribution.

Buyers here are importers in Dublin and Cork supply retailers and online sellers; ethnic-wear shops buy kurtis and kaftans; schools and healthcare firms buy uniforms.

Buyers want quality cotton basics, hoodies, T-shirts, school uniforms, activewear and ethnic wear for festivals such as Diwali and Eid.

Mild, wet weather all year, so layers and fleece sell broadly; peaks include back-to-school in August, Black Friday and Christmas.

EU textile-labelling and REACH rules apply, with English labelling accepted; goods arrive through Dublin or Cork, or through UK ports under customs rules that your broker should confirm.

Duties and taxes: Import VAT plus the EU Common Customs Tariff. Rates change, so confirm the HS code and duty with your customs broker before you finalise landed cost; we supply the invoice, packing list and certificate of origin needed for clearance.

A leggings order for Ireland should be planned backwards from the selling season. Mild, wet weather all year, so layers and fleece sell broadly; peaks include back-to-school in August, Black Friday and Christmas. For leggings specifically, leggings sell all year; fleece-lined styles peak for autumn-winter orders placed May–August. Our lead time is 25–35 days; 20 days on repeat colours, plus sea transit of about 20–30 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.

Typical buyers of leggings in Ireland include women's apparel wholesalers, retail chains and supermarkets, ethnic and fusion-wear boutiques and private-label fashion brands. Around Dublin, Cork and Galway, they usually order 1,500–3,000 pieces per container colour mix; 500 pieces per colour for stock jersey and reorder the styles that sell through, so we keep fabric, size ratios and labels on file for repeat shipments.

For Ireland we suggest planning leggings in two drops, one in lighter fabrics and one in heavier ones, so stock matches the weather rather than sitting unsold.

Sizes: Free size (fits S–L), XL–3XL, and numeric sizing 26–40 inches; plus-size 4XL–6XL on request. Colours: 50+ solid colours, melange and prints; dyed to Pantone in bulk.

You are not limited to stock designs. We make leggings in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Ireland market. A reference garment, a tech pack, a sketch or even a photograph is enough to start.

How it works: send a Pantone code or fabric swatch for colour and we return a lab-dip; send your size chart and the ratio you want in each carton; send artwork, print, embroidery or label files for the design. We make a sample for approval and then produce the bulk to that approved sample, so the order you receive matches the one you signed off.

A good legging holds its shape after fifty washes, stays opaque when stretched, and has a waistband that does not roll. We test for all three, and we reject lots where recovery or opacity falls below the agreed standard.

Because colours are the main variable, we recommend a stock palette of 20–30 colours with a few seasonal additions, so you can reorder the best sellers in smaller lots with a short lead time.

Containers move by sea from Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva to Dublin, about 20–30 days. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and your clearing agent handles customs and local delivery in Ireland; we can coordinate with the forwarder you name.

Individually polybagged and packed 100–150 pieces per carton; compressed packing for freight savings. Before loading we share a photo, video and measurement report so you can approve what is in the container. Machine wash cold, inside out, do not tumble dry high; avoid fabric softener.

Documents supplied with every shipment: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading, plus test reports and compliance documents where your market asks for them. Payment terms: 50% advance with order confirmation and 50% before dispatch against export documents; L/C at sight can be discussed for larger orders.
