Derek Eakin Limited was first established in 1980 launching on the Irish market as a clothing distributor specializing in school uniforms, school wear and corporate clothing. Our business has developed over the years enabling us to develop our customer base to include retailers, embroiderers and screen printers. Since our establishment we have developed to such an extent that we now pride ourselves as a principal player in the Irish market for Uniforms, Promotional Clothing & School wear.
To facilitate our storage and display Show rooms, we have a large spacious warehouse of over 30,000 sq. ft. Customers have the choice of viewing our extensive clothing range by visiting our warehouse or alternatively they may be more suitably accommodated by making an appointment with one of our sales representatives.
Ethical Sourcing & Manufacturing
We are dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards, ensuring that every aspect of our school uniforms reflects our commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. We actively seek suppliers who share our values, prioritizing those who champion human rights and practice responsible business.
We place a strong emphasis on partnering with manufacturers who hold the Oeko-Tex Standard certification. This prestigious certification ensures that textiles are tested for harmful substances, guaranteeing that the materials used in our uniforms are free from toxins that could be harmful to both human health and the environment. By working with manufacturers who uphold this standard, we contribute to safer, more sustainable production practices that protect both people and the planet. This commitment to ethical sourcing and sustainability allows us to offer uniforms made with integrity and care.
